Although I think Carol's explanation is the most plausible (Geese are vacationing in Hamptons), please see below for a technical explanation from the best wildlife control expert on Long Island.

Up until recently the gosling hatch from this year was pre-flight. I have noticed a decrease in goose activity on some of my control properties this past week. The goslings have probably achieved flight which in that area would likely cause them to sleep on the water at night. Another possible explanation would be that they have depleted the longer, better tasting blades of grass from that median and have moved on to more opportune feeding now that the young can fly. You will probably see an increase in activity around August. That is when the geese will molt their feathers and will be flightless for a period of time. I hope you find this information useful. If you need anything else, just let me know.

If you live in the Roslyn--Port Washington area and have ever driven by bar beach on shore road, You probably noticed the large number of Canadian geese sitting on the grass median.



Now, all of a sudden, they are all gone without any explanation.

It seems a little strange. Does anyone have any insight?
