Please grant them citizenship and invite them to stay. Forever!

Maryland considers those that stay year round an invasive species. We will welcome them but they s'posed to head back north.

So do we!

Well, they supposedly help the economy of the DelMarVa peninsula every year . . . during hunting season.

They are welcome here! We've got some that migrate and others that stay all year round. I love 'em.

I love to hear them honking as they fly over in the mornings and evenings. I actually look forward to their arrival each year (and the little yellow chicks)

They mark the true beginning of spring, and the final passing of fall. The lines in the sky that they form as they go by are quite stirring. In their natural setting, they are majestic birds. When they colonize urban greenery, they are a noisy, messy pest.

We have a lot of Canadian geese here.My ususal birding spot there everywhere,even in the middle of the street holding up traffic.I had one follow me one time everywhere I went and almost inside my car when I left.

Each spring a pair nest in my neighbor's horse pasture near his pond. Yesterday they came to visit my yard for the first time, not sure why. They spent the day and flew off into the pasture again around dusk. I enjoyed having them out there.....not sure how my cats felt about it though.

How I feel about tourists, quite often.

I think many animals are looked upon the same way: deer (and I suspect moose in the north), reptiles, and many birds.

It's to bad the animals don't have the ability to learn how to hunt invasive people.They can stop by my house anytime, I can lend them some heavy artillery for the task.

No they are notorious for being mean and destroy thing but I bet the Canadians wouldn't mind
