Once the geese get their outer feathers back (and the city removes the fencing along the lakeshore, which does absolutely no good) things should improve. Here’s why:
Molting is the term that is given to the 8-10 week flightless period when Canada geese shed their outer wing feathers and regrow new ones. Molting occurs between mid-June through August. Most birds are able to resume flight by mid-August.

During this molting period geese will gather on ponds or lakes since they provide a safe resting place and security from predators. During the molting period, Canada geese do major damage to landscape as they congregate on lawns near water.
