I understand the problems posed by overly successful Snow Geese, and 
in my mind I can understand the ramifications if actions aren't taken 
to address the problems, but I have to say, Dex, it's hard to 
remember that when those wonderful birds go wheeling overhead!

Thanks for sharing those websites with us, by the way, and if anyone 
calls you Grinch...send them to me!  Grin...

Happy Holidays, Dex!
