How do you tell the difference? Do the migratory geese have "I love
Florida" stickers on their tail feathers?

Timing, the migratory birds are here only at certain times of the year.
NJ has an early hunting season before the migratory birds arrive. I
think, if your eye is trained, you can actually tell the difference. The
residents, I believe, are fatter and heavier. I guess the flying from
the Arctic does have an effect.
