Another goose

Posted on 20:00 by Unknown
Note the injury on the inside of the bird's right leg.

Today, another goose was rescued by our 'goose whisperer', Deanna.

On Fridays, after work, Deanna visits various 'hot spots' in and around Monterey, looking for infirm wildlife.

This week, at Roberts Lake, in Seaside, she found an ailing goose.
Using expert skill and her very own technique that, well, can best be described as a waltz, Deanna collected the large flighted bird and transported it to the SPCA of Monterey for evaluation and treatment.

Unfortunately, we were told the leg was fractured at the joint and the goose was humanely euthanized.
