Greenwood Wildlife Rehabilitation Center has just taken in a very young Canada Goose gosling. (It possibly could be a Cackling Goose, but how would you know at such a young age?) It is between tennis-ball and softball size; if it stretches its neck out fully, it's roughly 8" tall.
At this point, this gosling would be much better off if the staff could place it with a family group of similar-sized goslings. It was found in the Fort Collins area. If it could be released with an appropriate family group, Parks & Wildlife might consider the Boulder County area too. If anyone has seen a family of Canada Geese with goslings near this size recently in these areas, could you write to me off-list as soon as possible? Thanks so much for any help.
