Might be a problem with noisy neighbors.

Geese can be very squabbly and noisy. I can almost hear them, lol!

Super capture they look like they are squabling

Most likely a courtship dispute but those domestic disputes are the kind that police hate getting calls for! ;-D

Well caught, Vern. It is fun to watch all the interactions during courtship.

I can almost hear it squawking!

LOL, looks like a mail chasing another male away from his female.
Guest 16-Mar-2011 01:37
Good catch Vern, it's that time of year again ;-)

Never argue with an angry goose!

It is likely that the goose on the left is paired with the female, and chasing off a rival.
