I Zoom(Indiana) is a wonderful thing. Especially since it takes EZ Pass(NY etc) and I Pass(Illinois). Only Ohio stands in the way of a non annoying trip from Rochester to Chicago.

Getting rid of geese on the golf course

Friday, May 16th, 2008

The “Geese Guy” is hired by course management to try to keep geese off the course. He has a golf cart, border collie and a small canoe. The two of them chase geese on water or land.

The family regathers. The baby geese dive and scatter when the dog comes near. The Geese Guy doesn’t let the dog get too close or chase the young ones too long.

Birds attack each others nests and eggs. There had been three eggs in this one and only a broken empty one is left. This is right outside our back door.
