While out riding on my scooter yesterday I saw this family of Canada Geese trying to cross the road. This road is a busy one and even has bus service. So I tried to ride my scooter in front of them and force them back into the park. There is a huge bridge just south of here and I was afraid they would not be able to figure out how to get off it.
I managed to get them back onto the grassy area. Papa goose hissed and spat at me the whole time. But I did get them to go back into the park. This park is called Morningside Park and it is really pretty at this time of year. I have no idea why they were up on the road since the park would be a much nicer place to raise a family of geese. Highland Creek flows through it and there are lots of marshy areas that would make a perfect habitat.
Here they actually looked as if they were going down the hill. I continued on my journey, but as I looked back in my rear view mirror, I could see them back up on the road.
The story has a happy ending though. Last night we drove past this spot and there was no evidence of any geese. They must have gone back into the valley. At least I hope so.
