Goose mating behaviors

Ok friends, educate me! What are some of the tell tale signs that geese are ready to mate? Do they do any head bobbing or dancing like the other birds?

Female becomes more assertive and leads boy around. Female goes into searching mode for the perfect nest location. When in kiddy pool/water, female will bite male on his back/wing area. Those are the most obvious signs.

Oh my! I'm interested to see that! BB my female has always been very submissive... @Miss Lydia was telling me how her female took the lead with her gander and it was quite funny. Now for the actual act...I'm assuming it's just like ducks, with the male climbing on the female's back?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Completely different with geese than ducks. Female run the show.
