Migrant geese upped sticks and left right on schedule around the Spring Solstice on March 20. So now we’re in the next stage of the resident Canada goose year – the nesting season.

Soap Lake Beaches Contaminated with Canada Geese Excrement, Parasites and Unsafe Levels of Contaminants

February 10th, 2011 Comments off

(PRWEB) January 25, 2005

On December 10th 2004 the City of Soap Lake was provided the following information on the Canadian Geese problem. To date, the City of Soap Lake has not responded. It is reported that that the Grant County Health Department has tested the water. It is also reported that Council Member Maynard Hagen has been working on the problem. Though Mayor Hovde and the Council Members are aware of the serious nature of the problem, they have not deliberated on this problem, nor taken up consideration of the proposed resolution to address the problem.

The email to the City of Soap Lake follows:

Â?Please provide Mayor Hovde and each city council member with a copy of this e-mail.

The fifteen cities and counties that have already addressed the geese problem, didn’t do so because it could be proven their waterways were affected. In fact, the water is not likely to show traces of the geese feces. If Soap Lake were to have the water tested, it will test just fine.

The real problem is the contamination of the sand, the beaches, the grass, the ground Canada geese frequent and defecate on which is full of feces which would test unsafe for humans to come in contact with and result in the closure of public beaches.

In addition to being the source of high bacterial counts, Canadian Geese are an intermediate host for the parasite that causes swimmers’ itch when the larvae burrow under a swimmer’s skin. With increasing geese populations, more goose feces are excreted in the water, including the parasite’s eggs, increasing the opportunity for the larval parasite to affect swimmers.

It is not worth risking bad publicity already drawn to Soap Lake. The last thing we need is headlines in the Grant County Journal, the Columbia Basin Herald and the Wenatchee World News, read: “Soap Lake beaches contaminated with Canada Geese excrement, parasites and unsafe levels of contaminants.”

Other Washington State Counties and Cities have already taken care of the problem at no added cost to the taxpayers. This solution will take care of the problem, and will not cost Soap Lake taxpayers an added penny.

We take pride in the healing qualities of our Soap Lake water, and clearly want to keep it that way.

This problem requires immediate attention, for health reasons alone.Â?

PROPOSED RESOLUTION NO. ______

INVITING THE USDA WILDLIFE SERVICES TO CONTROL THE POPULATION OF CANADA GEESE IN THE CITY OF SOAP LAKE

WHEREAS, the non-migrating population of Canada geese in the City of Soap Lake has grown from almost zero to approximately 1,000 and continues to grow; and

WHEREAS, Canada goose feces contain disease-causing organisms which include salmonella, giardia and cryptosporidium; and

WHEREAS, the accumulation of goose feces at public parks, beaches, children’s play areas, playfields, reservoirs, and other public areas present a public health concern to the 1,750 Soap Lake residents and thousands frequently visiting Soap Lake due to increased risk of exposure to disease organisms by humans who come into contact with the feces; and

WHEREAS, the incidence of human contact with Canada geese fecal materials is on the increase; and

WHEREAS, bacterial contamination traced to Canada geese feces has resulted in the closure of public swimming beaches and added non-point pollution (i.e., pollution that has no specifically identifiable source) to regional lakes; and

WHEREAS, due to the high number of geese in the area, bacterial counts at some of the public swimming beaches are anticipated to be over the closure standards; and

WHEREAS, in addition to being the source of high bacterial counts at a number of regional swimming areas, Canada geese are an intermediate host for the parasite that causes swimmers’ itch when the larvae burrow under a swimmer’s skin. With increasing geese populations, more goose feces are excreted in the water, including the parasite’s eggs, increasing the opportunity for the larval parasite to affect swimmers; and

WHEREAS, numerous methods have been employed by many cities in Washington State to control the Canada goose population, including trapping, relocation to suitable sites, egg addling, repellants and harassment; however, the population of urban Canada geese continues to increase; and

WHEREAS, on May 14, 1999, Public Health – Seattle & King County provided a letter of support to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) – Wildlife Services supporting the option of population reduction; and

WHEREAS, on March 22, 2000, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a permit to USDA – Wildlife Services to kill up to 3,500 resident Canada geese from May 1 to September 1, 2000 in King, Pierce, Jefferson, Thurston, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Mason, Kitsap, Clallum, Island and San Juan Counties;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE SOAP LAKE CITY COUNCIL

supports the unanimous decision of the Seattle Metropolitan Area Waterfowl Management Committee to invite the USDA – Wildlife Services to control the population of Canada geese in the City of Soap Lake.

Canada Geese

January 10th, 2011 Comments off

Few spectacles symbolize autumn better than a gang of Canada Geese crossing a cloudy sky in V-formation. Common throughout most of North America, Canada Geese live around ponds, rivers, and lake shores where they feed on aquatic grass, roots, and young sprouts, as well as corn and grain. A strong inward pull called instinct urges these waterfowl into the skies to make this great annual southward migration. But instinct does not determine the route the birds take. Canada Geese migrate in family groups, and they will travel the same route year after year. The young geese learn the route from their parents, and use the same route in subsequent years with their own young.

Canada Geese are more family-oriented than many other species of waterfowl. Adults mate for life, although a widow will often choose another mate. Pairs look for appropriate nesting sites in early spring, just as soon as there is open water for mating, and snow-free sites for nesting. Together, they use grass and plant material to build their nests, lining it with feather down. When the nest is ready, the male, called a gander, will guard the area as his mate lays her eggs. An average clutch is five to seven eggs, but it can be as low as two or as high as twelve. Each egg will take a day of more to lay, and incubation lasts about a month.

Both goose and gander are present when the eggs begin to hatch. Goslings use their sharp egg teeth to peck their way out of their shells, an arduous task that can take a full day or two. These newly hatched babies resemble ducklings, with yellow and gray feathers and dark bills; but within a week they will have changed into awkward-looking, fuzzy gray birds. Once out of their eggs, goslings are able to swim immediately, and will enter the water accompanied by both parents. There they will begin their first task of diving and eating. They must eat continually in order to grow sufficiently for their first flight. Newly-hatched goslings can dive 30-40 feet underwater for nutritious, aquatic plants.

At nine or ten weeks of age, goslings have grown their flight feathers and look like smaller versions of their parents. Canada Geese are easily identifiable with their long black necks and heads and contrasting white cheek and throats. Their back, upper wings, and flank areas are brown capes draped over nearly white breasts and bellies. Short black tails, black legs and black webbed feet are visible when they waddle across an open field. While Canada Geese range in size, they are typically 20-50 inches long, with a 50-68 inch wingspan. The largest varieties are called honkers, while smaller geese, one fourth the size, are called cacklers.

The first two months of a gosling’s life its entire goose family is earth-bound. Ganders molt directly after mating, and geese molt shortly after her eggs hatch. Unable to fly, the family abandons the nest on foot to find better feeding areas. Adults will have re-grown their new feathers just in time to give their young their first flying lesson.

Few birds are as vocal as Canada Geese, and some say they encourage each other as they take their challenging journey. If you listen carefully, you can determine the gender of the goose by their vocalizations. Ganders speak in a low-pitched honk, while geese use a high-pitched hink. Goslings have a soft, wheezy call.

The journey is made easier by flying in V-formation. By flying in formation, the flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew alone. As each goose flaps its wings, it creates uplift for those following behind. The geese take turns in the point position, as tired birds rotate back. If a goose is wounded or falls out of formation for any other reason, two of its flock will stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then they will join another formation or catch up with their flock.

Canaa Geese, though common, are fascinating creatures. In the words of Milton Olson, we can learn a lot from a goose!

Resident Canada Geese Problems – A Clean Solutions to a Dirty Problem

January 10th, 2011 Comments off

For over a decade many Canada geese have been doing the unexpected they are not going back to Canada. As a result, the Northeast United States has go home to a dismaying number of these problematic birds. Tighter Federal and State antifertility regulations matched with the changed migration patterns of these birds have contributed to their settlement and expansion. From Connecticut to New York and the rest of the Tri-State area, populations of Canada geese are causing serious problems for the locations they continue to settle in

The problem with these 5 million or so resident Canada geese is that the average full grown goose eats 3 lbs of grass a day, which is kindly returned via a 1.5 lb bundle of droppings. For most people, this might not be of much concern. For property owners with straggling lawns of enthusiastic value, however; these Canada geese are much more than just a nuisance

The increasing amount of year-round geese settlers has led to significant troubles for the New York, WestchesterPutnamDuchessLong Island, and Southern Connecticut areas. Large flocks of geese are causing damage and posing human health risks in parks, waterways, golf courses, residential areas, corporate campuses, cemeteries and schools. According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture Animal Health Inspection Service, “[Goose]Problems admit over-grazed lawns, accumulations of droppings and feathers on play areas and walkways, wholesome loading ponds, common health concerns at beaches and imbibing water supplies, assertive behavior by cuddling birds, and safety hazards near roads and airports”

For property owners whose landscapes are plagued by the Canada goose, it is important to utilize both a safe and efficient method for discouraging these pest-like birds who frequent their lawns. People with Canada goose problems often make the mistake of utilizing baneful or fast fixes like poisons, noisemakers, grid wire, and plastic replicas of goose predators. Not only are these methods acting, but they can be breakneck. It is important (for both the environment and one’s wallet) to make the agile choice of using safe and humanist goose control solutions that last

The Canada goose problem is growing in the Northeast. However, goose problems don’t need to be your problems with local companies who are available to provide safe and effective solutions to the increasing number of avian immigrants from the north
