One thing needs to be made clear about Canada geese:
The non-migratory birds are not natural inhabitants. They are the descendents of escaped "live decoys" and they need to be controlled the same way stray cats are contolled. They outcompete and crowd out natural species such as ducks.

Seems to me that their eggs could be taken from them as soon as they are laid (or thereabouts).
They have a very short season to maturity, so a couple of egg-swipes should put them into a time frame where they wouldn't have sufficient days left to rear a new clutch.
