Delicious and Dangerous: The Canada Goose

I'm working on putting together the Jon Huntsman environmental record piece and will hopefully have that up today. In the interim, I thought I'd share more interesting bird-related news.

"New York City is working on plans to capture geese while they are molting and can’t fly in order to ship them to Pennsylvania, where they will be slaughtered and served at food banks. The plan is an attempt to improve air safety that was spurred by the U.S. Airways plane that ended up in the Hudson River after takeoff from LaGuardia Airport when some geese got caught in the engine in 2009."

If only all invasive species were as delicious and easily-caught as the majestic Canadian goose. Increased air safety and food for the homeless? I'm on board.
