Canada geese are more than a noisy nuisance—they can cause serious damage to crops. Farmers have few options to keep them away, but a Lehigh undergraduate spent last summer working on a high-tech solution.

Using computer vision and machine learning, Tyreese Davidson ’26 helped develop a lightweight AI detection model to distinguish geese from similar birds like ducks and swans. When the system identifies a goose, it activates an alarm to scare the animal away—like a modern-day scarecrow, but smarter.
