Fantastic!

I'm just hoping someone can catch them doing it again, so that we can be 100% sure 1) the video is real and 2) they did it on purpose!

When crows learn something cool, they usually teach it to other crows, and it spreads, so who knows, a few years from now we may have to figure out what the river etiquette is for sharing our play waves with flocks of geese.

My feelings on geese were formed during my rowing days in Boston. The rowing docks are a favorite hangout, and wherever there are geese, there is goose poop. Did I mention you get into and out of the boats barefoot? My suggestion: pretend they are a kayaker and you are a raft guide on the Ocoee.

@Shep, same deal here at the Tulsa WavePark. The resident geese are fun to watch but leave major turd piles in a lot of places. Watch your step is key!
