Gilmore Ponds Wetlands hosted several large flocks of Canada Geese this past week. These birds were never seen in the Cincinnati area when I was growing up. Now they not only winter here, but also stay all year 'round. Their only predators seem to be native foxes, coyotes ( which are now here as well) and being struck by autos.
