Mr. and Mrs. Goose have their nest under a tree immediately outside the door. Woe unto anyone who dares to come within 12 feet or so of them.
They're year 'round here, too. Maybe they've always been. There do seem to be times of the year when they move around more, which we joke are the geese migrating to Foster City (the next town to the East). There's a small flock of a dozen or so birds who hang out on the grounds of the high school that's on the next block.
