Outdoors: It's OK to persuade geese to get going

Question: My neighbor has lake front property and regularly chases away Canada geese (often by throwing sticks and pine cones at them) during the nesting season. His intent is to keep them off his dock, but he extends his harassment about a tenth of a mile up the beach to the private property of several other people and some PG&E property. Is this legal?
