Started putting up "wanted" posters for Branta canadensis apparently. See the following...
Greetings,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released a Record of Decision and final rule that will allow state wildlife agencies, landowners, and airports more flexibility in controlling resident Canada goose populations. The Record of Decision and final rule were published in the August 10 Federal Register.
The Service action is in response to growing impacts from overabundant populations of resident Canada geese, which can damage property, agriculture, and natural resources in parks and other areas. Resident Canada geese typically stay in the same area or migrate for short distances. There is no evidence that resident Canada geese breed with migratory Canada geese that nest in northern Canada and Alaska.
Please see the following web site for more information:

Also available is a Q&A page that answers questions like "What are resident Canada geese and how do they differ from other Canada geese?":
