Hey All:
An update in Broomfield:
I found two dead Canada geese at Brunner Reservoir, in Broomfield. One is
dead on the ice - complete body untouched (so far). Another dead on the
shore, plucked out, with most of the carcass gone (probably a raptor
kill). There are several red-tailed hawks in this area. This area, and
the pond next to the Library, are crowded with cackling and Canada geese.
People are still (illegally) feeding ducks and geese at the library
location. Worse - they are feeding them white bread, which as I
understand, can make waterfowl sick or kill them.
Geese are crowded, in several locations in Broomfield and the amount of
goose poop all over the walkways and adjoining lawns, has to be seen to be
believed. (harassing tactic may be necessary?). The geese ignore the
fake coyote cutouts at the library pond. Until the lakes freeze over, and
more dispersal takes place this will be major problem.
