There's goose poop on the beach!

I know, I know.  Not only have I seen it, I've been raking it and picking it up.  So, I had an email conversation with the Away With Geese contact that worked with me initially.  After last weekend I sent her some photos of the evidence.

I knew when we first put the light in that I was a little late in the cycle of geese and their babies.  They just had them when I installed it.  And the company told me if that was the case, the adults will never abandoned their young and the light may take longer to be effective.  That still seems to be the case and the company says that once the babies can fly (which looks like it will be soon), then they will probably leave the area, and stay away from the beach.

She also suggested a second light to keep them off the grass.  I don't see that in the budget and told her that if we can keep them away from the range of the first light, we'd be more than happy.

So, I still have the 6 month guarantee and it will pop up in my calendar a week before it expires.  Then I'll make the call as to how effective the light is.  What's odd is that the first 3 weeks it seems to have kept them off beach really well.  We'll see.

In the meantime, I'll still clean the stuff up when I'm down at the lake and I always do that BEFORE I rake the entire beach and smooth out the sand.  I never just bury let it get buried by going over it with the rake.

Looking forward to a great 4th of July weekend!

Thanks Joe. It's nice to see the increased traffic down there this summer. I think people are enjoying it and I've heard lots of good comments like yours.

    Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

    The how and why.

    Years ago when I was looking for a lake front cabin I stumbled across a realtor ad for Lake of the Oaks.  There was nothing on the web about our lake.

    Everything had to be learned by chasing people down and making phone calls.  I couldn't believe that in the age of the Internet,  information about the lake was left in the Stone Age.  I decided to do something about that when I became an owner.

    Always interested in technology, I enjoy providing information and updates to fellow owners and prospects. Please let me know if its working.
