PARKS: That isn't dog poop

| August 8, 2012 9:15 PM

Welcome to North Idaho, home of Canadian geese. That’s right, those beautiful birds we see flying south for the winter. Unfortunately those Canadian geese, about 25 of them, have been nesting on the bank and park for many years now. I walk by there every night and see their destructive mess on the sidewalks. Sidewalks are so littered with geese poop, that many people use the street.

The parks department does a good job. Maybe they could put up some fake owls or prey birds to scare them. Personally I would rather take a 12-gauge shotgun. Of course, some animal rights group would protest, unless of course they were pooping in their back yard.
