Geese

Riding home tonight at dusk, I saw something you can only see in the Northern Hemisphere: fifty or so snow geese flying overhead. A majestic sight.

I understand these birds, while grand to look at, are becoming a pest both in Canada and the Unitied States, where they spend the winter. Apparently, due to a massive increase in numbers over the last few decades, they are destroying their own habitat. And I thought only humans did that.
