There are a large number of geese that hang out and nest in The Fens[1] in Boston.<p>Normally they nest in the reeds close to the water, more or less out of the way of human foot traffic.  A couple of years ago, I saw a pair of geese who made their nest in a small island of grass between two side-walks and a street near Northeastern University.  While much more public, this nest had the advantage of humans leaving bowls of clean water (and maybe food) for the geese nesting there.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Fens_(Boston,_Massachusetts)" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;The_Fens_(Boston,_Massachusett...</a>
