About 3 days ago I found a dead goose in the pond. It was at the waters edge, part in and part out of the water. Other than being dead, it looked completely healthy and normal. I checked it over and didn't find any wounds or injuries on it. I removed and disposed of it.
Since it was at waters edge I'm guessing it died in the water and floated over to the edge?
Ever since, the remaining geese on my property (about a dozen) will not enter the pond. This is very unusual, and I know their patterns well. Avoiding the water is very odd. It's normally their "safe spot" that they flee to if something disturbs them.
Any guesses on why the goose died or the others now avoid the water?
