Observation details
Pair flew in low from north, calling loudly, and landed among grazing geese on north side of cemetery. Fed in lawn among gravestones, then walked to far NE corner at Lexington and continued feeding in lawn. Approached to within 20 m (measured) as I sat in car, and fed for 15 min that close, showing no fear as I took photos. After they walked away, I checked ground where they were feeding but found only goose droppings. They fed extensively in a small area on what appeared to be corn kernels, so perhaps they consumed all of it. In the past some visitors have scattered corn and birdseed in cemetery for wildlife and that may have been the case here.
