   <br/>&#62; Canada geese are a year-round phenomenon down here in God&#39;s country, but I
   <br/>&#62; kinda suspect the summer and winter birds may be different populations.
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; The golf course at Yarmouth&#39;s extreme south end accommodates a lot of them,
   <br/>&#62; as it did when the tundra bean goose visited a few years back. A couple of
   <br/>&#62; winters back, a snow goose hung out there for awhile as well.
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; In recent years, I note an increasing proliferation of cat tails in the
   <br/>&#62; fresh water marsh on the Wyman Road that accommodates the stream that drains
   <br/>&#62; most of the golf course, en route to Broad Brook. So far, none have
   <br/>&#62; appeared downstream of the road. Thought it may be a result of the
   <br/>&#62; fertilizer applied to the course. I&#39;m wondering , though, about the
   <br/>&#62; importance of the considerable contribution the geese must leave behind.
   <br/>&#62; 
   <br/>&#62; Another observation: The hypothetical golden eagle I reported from near the
   <br/>&#62; corner of Ellis and Wyman Road about a month ago has been seen by more
   <br/>&#62; people, and seems to be getting less hypothetical. Twice, in the past
   <br/>&#62; couple or three weeks, when I have turned down the Wyman Road from Sand
   <br/>&#62; Beach, I have seen a large, all-dark raptor flying high, with what seem to
   <br/>&#62; be the same sort of body proportions. Hard to tell when you are in a hurry
   <br/>&#62; and behind the wheel, but I have been looking sharp at bill-head-tail size.
   <br/>&#62; Both times, the bird seemed to be tending near or over the southern end of
   <br/>&#62; the gold course. Wonder if the geese are attracting it!

   <br/>&#62; Have had 8 hanging around in the marshes (Noel Shore) for the last 3 days.
   <br/>&#62; Any others around?
