Elleda Wilson: Getting goosed
Mar. 2—Fowl rerun: "We received a call from the public about a goose that had been on this dock for three days," the Wildlife Center of the North Coast posted on its Facebook page.
Volunteer Lynette Scribner arrived on the scene to capture the stranded fowl, and is pictured in a video screenshot of the rescue. But the best-laid plans of mice and men — and geese, too, apparently — often go awry, and this particular goose had a very good reason for not moving all that time. It was a decoy.
As the wildlife center aptly noted: "This is the definition of a wild goose chase!" (In One Ear, 6/3/2016)
