I had a huge scare this morning. On my way to work, I saw a flock of grouse! But they were trying to cross the street (down by where the Croissant Company used to be). It was a momma and all her babies. I was just terrified. Momma was standing in the middle of an empty lane, and all the babies were on the grassy side towards the river. I didn't know what to do and I just hoped that Momma would go back on the grass. Finally one of the babies moved and they all followed to their momma...then traffic picked up...and then...oh miracle of miracles! They all flew! They all took off and flew right over the cars to the empty lot of the Croissant Company. Oh man...I can't believe it.

Woohoo! I'm glad they made it!

When we had Canada Geese here at work, they would always tend to mosey across the road. Some people who think that if they drive 70 on the 25 MPH loop that they won't be late anymore almost hit them. I don't think there have been any fatalities of geese or people because of it yet. Now, the geese are captured and taken elsewhere.

Oh me too Lance! I didn't know the babies could fly that young :-D

I'm glad to hear that no geese have been hit. That would have been terrible to see. The trouble with Canada Geese is that they get pretty comfortable in nice surroundings! We saw so many of them on a horse farm a few years ago in Lexington. That's a lot of goose poop!

Thats lucky! birds arent paticularly road-wise. my aunt saw a mother duck get dashed to bits on the motorway and all her little flightless ducklings scattered and ran all over the place. she didnt see what happened next as she was driving the other way but its safe to assume they got killed :(

Extremely! I just don't know what I would have done if they were all killed in front of me.
