Jeanne Nesbit, coordinator at the Weymouth Information Center, has had company around Sissiboo Landing all summer—this lone Canada goose.

Sissiboo Landing's lone goose
by Karla Kelly
After the mainland fair cleared away and the crowds disappeared following the July 1 celebrations in Weymouth, a couple of Canada geese showed up in front of Sissiboo Landing.
In no hurry to move on, the pair settled into their new residence. However one of the two was killed and the second one seemed to have an injured wing and was unable to fly.
The lone goose has been a constant companion to Sissiboo Landing's coordinator Jeanne Nesbit all summer and has managed to live off the land around the center. Its only source of annoyance has been a nearby cat but the goose has avoided its clutches.
The question is now that autumn has arrived, what will happen to the goose when other geese fly south overhead?
