Cd'A: No plans to kill Canada geese

Parks director says city doesn't have extent of problem as Sandpoint

The Canada geese in Coeur d'Alene won't face being euthanized as the others in the extended gaggle were recently in Sandpoint. Bill Greenwood of the Parks Department said the birds' population in Coeur d'Alene is not as significant as it was in Sandpoint, which led USDA Wildlife Services to round up and euthanize an estimated 150 on June 23 under a statewide degradation permit in a plan approved by Mayor Shelby Rognstad.
