KS? Geese have a number of names:
A group of geese is called different names depending upon whether the birds are in the air, in the water, on the ground or on land. When on land, the group is referred to as a gaggle. A group of geese flying in the air is called a skein.
and from wikipedia:
The term "goose" is more properly used for a female bird, while "
gander" refers specifically to a male one. Young birds before fledging are called
goslings.
[1] The
collective noun for a group of geese on the ground is a
gaggle; when in flight, they are called a
skein, a
team, or a
wedge; when flying close together, they are called a
plump.

(I think
skein is the coolest name...watching them go over in migration is a semi-annual pleasure.)
