The golf course is host to a lot of wild animals and birds including deer, squirrels, beaver, fox, hawks, osprey, countless small bird species, blue heron, ducks, geese and even the occasional bald eagle. It is wonderful to have a natural setting for animals to thrive within the city limits. Please do not attempt to feed these wild animals as this drops their natural ability to survive and makes them more likely to approach humans. It brightens my day to see all of these creatures except for the non-migratory Canadian Geese. The geese have not been as prevalent over the last few weeks. I am sure you have seen my black lab, Ginny running the golf course but and a large part of the credit goes to Mary Bliley, her border collie Davey, and all of the ladies that walk him in the morning and in the evening. I believe that the continued harassment of the geese has forced them to move to easier pastures. Let's hope they stay there.
