Public health and safety risks are a growing concern with Canada geese. A large population of geese that frequents a lawn, a golf course, or an agricultural field can leave behind an unpleasant mess. Studies have shown that a well-fed, healthy adult Canada goose can produce up to 1.5 pounds of fecal matter per day. Where resident goose populations are sizeable (>100 birds), the continuous influx of nutrients contained in Canada goose feces can contribute to the eutrophication of small water bodies, especially those that have restricted circulation and flow-through, which in turn may stimulate algae and weed growth. Bacteria and particulate matter contained in goose feces, when present in sufficient quantity, may lead to the need for special treatment of drinking water drawn from surface ponds or reservoirs where geese congregate. Additionally, beaches and other public areas littered with accumulated goose feces have been closed due to the contamination or the threat of personal injury resulting from falls as people lose footing on the slippery material.–Center for Human Wildlife Conflict Resolution
In Richmond, in the 60’s, it was notable to see a person seated on the street. We’ve traveled a long way since. If this man was holding a cardboard sign what would it say?
I used to primarily shoot 35mm 36 exposure TriX. I cut and stored the film in strips of six. The extra frames, (37-39) they avoided being cataloged. They fell behind the furniture, collected dust. This is one such… Bill & HP
