The Urban Goose















You decide if this Canada is demonstrating good judgement or poor judgement by selecting this small parking lot island as a nesting location.

I'll make my case, this goose, by choosing this parking area by an upscale Greensboro shopping store, along busy Battleground Avenue, has assured itself affluent residents will feed it and bring fresh (possibly filtered) water. Should this goose have chosen a more traditional nesting spot along one of Greensboro's landscaped ponds, it may have been subjected to relentless marauding dogs unleashed by one of Greensboro's several goose ridding services hired to keep the expensive landscapes goosefree. Lucky goose.
