wakefloodParticipantSo maybe this has already been posted but if not, some really great news for fans of the geese at Lincoln Park.
The kind man who put them there years ago brought a gentleman suitor to join them. He’s bigger than the two sisters and his name is Sam.
When the man comes down to visit every week or so, they honk up a storm when they see him coming! He feeds them romaine lettuce by hand and they look so happy!
Sam has traveled from up near Anacortes? if I remember correctly. I think he’s around 3yrs. old.
Let’s hope they continue to enjoy a long, happy and healthy, reasonably unfettered life.

metrognomeParticipantand here I thought this thread was going to be about a mysterious assailant who’s been goosing you when you go to Lincoln Park …

miwsParticipantwake, if you haven’t done so already, you might want to drop a quick line to TR, to let her know this backstory. There was an article and pic of the three geese a couple weeks or so ago.
I would guess that WSB might post a quick update, when time permits.

I have never heard a story about one person “placing” the geese. Following is the story that was told during a triple-digit comment thread about a dog attacking one of the geese in 2012:
Lincoln Park ‘resident goose’ attacked by dog, readers report
All I know firsthand is that white goose/geese have been there at least 15 years or so. My kid and I would see them down at Cove Park (reopening soon!!!!) during walks down the hill in his toddler days. Could have been around long before that, but it’s the clearest memory I have.
If Wakeflood or anyone else has any idea how to reach the person he mentioned (from Anacortes? why here, then?), that certainly would be a story of interest. – TR

anonymeParticipantI wonder what would happen if the geese started attacking off leash dogs at Lincoln Park?

wakefloodParticipantTracy, I didn’t mean to imply the man was FROM Anacortes, merely that Sam the goose came from that area.
The man I talked to appeared to be in his 40’s so it’s not impossible that he had something to do with the geese showing up at the park?
Next time I see him, I’ll ask for more info and let you know if he cares to share any. If any of the readers notice a man with a moustache and usually wearing a yellow jacket feeding the geese, ask him. He’s very friendly.

csw2119ParticipantThanks for this post! It’s always fun to see the beautiful geese at Lincoln.

SaraeeParticipantThanks for letting us know! I am in Lincoln Park almost every day and have been wondering where the third one came from!

JeannieParticipantI like to take a gander at those three geese when I do my Lincoln Park walk. So, if Sam is the name of the dude goose, what are the names of his lady friends? Perhaps Petunia, after the famous kids’ book. Or Mother Goose? Or Lucy Goosey? I’ll keep an eye out for Mr. Yellow Jacket, too.

wakefloodParticipantI don’t know the names of the two ladies but both times I’ve seen the yellow jacket man it was after dinner time getting towards dusk. Which would suggest that he comes down after work or similar?
