Two geese on a Jamaica Plain roof

Geese are not uncommon in Jamaica Plain - except maybe on people's roofs, so as she walked her dog this morning, Ally Stoughton couldn't help but look up when she heard some loud goose calls.

I wonder if they can safely nest on that chimney cap?

Can't remember the last time I saw a Canada goose nest in a tree.

From Cornell Labs: “On the ground, usually on a muskrat mound or other slightly elevated site, near water. They prefer a spot from which they can have a fairly unobstructed view in many directions.”

Ideally it should be Canadian ground, but standards have declined. I blame social media.
