Gone Geese


This is the last picture I have of the geese- they were all killed and dragged off, mysteriously. There are raccoons around, and that is my #1 guess. Last summer they killed 9 turkeys and about 20 ducks; they're known to "surplus kill" just kill until everything is dead. The geese were in the goose garden at the time, it is puzzling though, they are huge and make a lot of noise, so maybe too big for raccoons? Other suspects include foxes and coyotes, but they wouldn't find it easy to get into a fenced garden. The only witness is the dog, and she has been mute with shock and outrage.
