Geese are easily startled, but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers.

I asked ChatGPT if it could infer the reference alluded to in the above two comments, and this is what it said:
"It's possible that the reference in the second comment is to the phrase "the sands of time," which is often used as a metaphor for the passage of time or the impermanence of life. The phrase itself is thought to have originated in the ancient Greek myth of the Hourglass of Eros, in which the god Eros used an hourglass filled with sand to measure the time people had left to live. In this context, "sand geese" could be a playful reference to the passage of time, with the suggestion being that time moves on and that the geese, like sand, will eventually return. Alternatively, it's possible that the reference is simply to the fact that geese are often found in sandy environments, such as beaches or sand dunes."
cute

For anyone unsure, it's a Star Wars reference (Sand People).
