Canada geese take a stroll past Spainhower Primary School on Tuesday, Aug. 16. Several families of Canada geese frequent Amary Lake, formerly known as the Marshall Habilitation Center Lake, which is located on the north side of the campus. “Once considered a symbol of wilderness, this goose has adapted well to civilization, nesting around park ponds and golf courses; in a few places, it has even become something of a nuisance,” the National Audobon Society says.
