It has been pointed out to me that many Graylag Geese hang around Mentor Lagoons, so most likely that is what they were. I was not aware of this and am sorry for any confusion. My ID was based on calls, and I am assuming Greylag sound a lot like White-fronted, as they are both in Anser.

After walking out to the lake and seeing nothing, we walked back into the parking lot to our car. We spooked a flock of Canada Geese in the little "river" that runs by the marina, all which started calling. Amidst the Canada's honking however, were two very different, much lighter-sounding geese. As I put my bins up I got a glimpse of a brown goose with a brown neck and pink-orange bill. Unfortunately they flew directly away and did not return. However, the calls were quite distinctive, as later confirmed. Not much else of note.
