Bill,
Great idea! It would be good to get an idea of pairs, and if possible nest locations, while nesting is going on. Maybe later an idea of young produced. What area did you want to cover? At Stewart Park yesterday during a brief cruise through in the taxi I tallied at least 16 pairs of geese plus several others that were not obviously paired. I don't know whether the pairs have nests, and if so whether they commute to Stewart Park to graze.
