Goose still on the loose

As of this morning, the goose with the arrow in its neck has still not been caught. Well, there seem to be at least five separate flocks of geese on the Lake, plenty of groups to hide in and places to hide out.

Our dog JJ seems to have made peace with the geese and vice versa. They move a little bit away when she comes to the lake shore, and she doesn't bark at them. No noise, no muss, no fuss. Detente!!!

Meanwhile, the season brings out people who delight in the outdoor gym that it provides. Pictures:

Weirder and weirder in the park

so now there's a goose running around with an arrow in it's neck. We didn't see it, but others did, and there was a news item on Channel 12. Supposedly on channel 11 too, but I missed it. It looks to be a cross-bow arrow. Who the hell is shooting a crossbow at the geese in the park? (The resistance? - see yesterday's comments about geese.) And who is that good an aim. It is dead center the neck. We heard that Martin from Prospect Alliance was trying to catch it and take it somewhere to be tended to, but had no luck catching the goose with a net. I am so sorry I didn't see that chase, but we only spent a short time in the park - leg acting up and we wanted to go to Ellis Island that day. Which we did. Beautiful weather, huge crowds, got a little teary thinking of my 4 grandparents coming over as young people to a completely unknown place.
