OK. I got an email from the person that I responded too. It seems the information was incorrect, and he forwarded the email he received from the Biologist for Engineering and Environmental Planning for the county.
Recreation, Parks and Culture conduct a Goose Management Program. The program is
concerned with the population of geese on Broadmoor Lake and Heritage Hills
Wetlands. There are no management activities at Village on the Lake. Several
residents have called regarding the lack of geese on the pond. At this time of
year, the goslings are very mobile and the families are moving between wetlands
and constructed ponds, feeding while their flight feathers are developing.
Therefore, geese that were typically observed in one area, will move. They may
return, dependant upon the food sources elsewhere.
Management of migratory birds (including geese) is under the jurisdiction of the
provincial and federal governments. The County has not removed or euthanized any
geese in Strathcona County. Our management permit is specific to Broadmoor Lake
and Heritage Hills Wetland and is specific to egg oiling which occurred in late
April. The notices were not placed by Strathcona County and contain erroneous
information.
So, I guess as far as they are concerned, both famlies just decided to leave
the Lake. Not sure I totally believe it, as none of the goslings would be able to
fly, and I think someone would have have noticed 15 geese walking along the road.
