Yes

Option 2

No

Implications

Plan ahead for the period where geese are known to be migrating, and if possible minimize the number of flights during that time period.

While there isin't a significant amount of data, it does seem like in october and november Geese Strike Incidents go way up.

But it could be that there were simply more airplanes in November. How can you discount this alternate explanation?

So I found more general data of flights from FAA.gov, and found that the number of plane flights remains pretty static throughout the year.
