Commentary

Thank you for your report and apologies for the late reply. I couldn't find any references to Chinese Goose being an invasive concern in our area, so I don't think a sighting like this needs to be reported in the future. It may be a different story if they suddenly began nesting in large numbers and competing with native geese or otherwise causing negative impacts, then please do make another report. Appreciated!
