curiously, a nesting pair of swan will! I live near a salt water marsh-- the last one left on Long Island north shore. it has a large varity of water fowl, but very few geese. the swan chase them! i have read that geese do not nest near swans. and while we only have two, they are mean, nasty birds. the look very elegant, but they can be agressive. (and as Faldage is always pointing out, i should know, what with daddy and all...)

an alternate that is being tried.. is grape flavoring. geese can't stand it. so, un sweetened, grape flavored kool ade is diluted and sprayed on the grass.. and geese will not eat the grass, and don't even hang around.. problem is many golfers can't stand it either..
