Coyote Decoy

I saw this coyote when I was in Hull, MA last weekend.   It is supposed to keep Canada geese off the playing fields.  There were no geese there when I stopped by so it appeared to be working, but since there are also stakes with yellow tape billowing in the breeze, I wondered if it was not enough by itself.

Have you ever seen this type of goose control before?  I glanced over as I was driving by and saw the tail blowing in the wind.  I parked to get a better look (thinking it was real) and then recognized it was a fake.  Pretty interesting, though.
