Geese flying overhead, honking, in a perfect "V" formation, has long been a classic sign of Fall. But today, many New Englanders see geese as pests. Their population has exploded and they've caused major trouble at schools, parks, airports, businesses and even in backyards. We're looking at the problem...and solutions. Laura's guests are Becky Suomala, Naturalist with the New Hampshire Audubon Society, and David Feld, National Program Director for Geese Peace, an organization that promotes what it calls "comprehensive" and "humane" strategies for dealing with geese. We'll also hear from Marsha Barden, Biologist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services (based in Concord) and Ronald Dzuineski, a homeowner in Pittsburg who is dealing with his own geese problem.
