SaraeeParticipantDoes anyone know where the third white goose came from in Lincoln Park? For years I have only seen two and about a month ago another one showed up that now hangs out with the other two!

miwsParticipantHi Saraee, this was mentioned a few weeks back, I believe both here in Forums, and on the WSB Main Page.
I’ll see if I can find one or both, and link them here.

miwsParticipantThis has a pic of the geese, and some discussion in comments:
5 things for the rest of your West Seattle Tuesday, + 3 geese
And here is the recent Forum Thread:

SaraeeParticipantThank you for the info! I would love to meet the man who brought them all. I love seeing the geese in the park!

SaraeeParticipantSo, has anyone else noticed that in the past month or so one of the three geese is gone? It looks like one of the ones who was there before the new, bigger one showed up last spring is the one that is gone!

melissaParticipantI’m truly sorry that it was one of the females who is gone, not that dastardy, nasty male. What, I hear you cry? How can you impugn that poor bird? He’s a mean creature. He hisses at stalks people regularly and he attacked me and my dog last week. My big (on leash, for all of the forum regulars who are about to squawk at me) dog. I ended up having to throw my stainless steel mug at him to get him to back off. Unpleasant bird. The person who deposited him there did us no favors.

birdrescuerParticipantSo, what happened to the other one? Anyone know? Nesting maybe?

BonnieParticipantI don’t know what happened to the other one. I heard stories from other people about dogs trying to get the goose and also one person told me that she saw someone trying to catch the geese from Thanksgiving Dinner. Don’t know what happened but I just hope nothing bad.
Melissa, I like the male goose. He’s just trying to protect himself and the female. I would too if a dog came near me. (well, if I was a goose that is!)

LeeOCParticipantThe last time I saw the geese in Lincoln Park was May 5, 2016. Since then I haven’t seen them at all even though I walk the park on a regular basis. Does anyone know where the geese have gone?

JeannieParticipantOne of the geese hangs out by the ferry terminal, near the little white house. I haven’t seen the others. That one goose is probably better off away from Lincoln Park. Too many off-leash dogs over in the park – as well as kids who think it’s okay to tease the geese. Then again, I’ve seen some off-leash dogs by Cove Park, too. C’mon, people!
