He's caught 26 in three years and hasn't dropped one yet.
Not sure if he charges extra for goslings.

Subject: [Tweeters] Dangerously high Canada Goose nest

Hi Tweets--

An email came through on the Microsoft Birding Enthusiasts alias today
that
got my attention, and my concern. Here's the message, and I uploaded the
sender's photos to my flickr account so you can see what the situation
is:

Hey bird fans.

I am in Sammamish Building D, 6th floor, and I have a Canada Goose
nesting
outside my window.

In just a couple weeks, these eggs are going to hatch, and then these
little
guys have only 1 way down.... Dropping off the side of the building.
Are they going to make it safely, or are they doomed?"

>From what I've read, Canada Geese are usually ground or water
platform nesters, and lead their young away on foot/by paddling. This
nest,
however, is four stories up, over concrete. How do we handle this? Does
the
nest need to be moved now, or not until the eggs hatch? Do we call in
the
experts/Fish and Wildlife people to do this? Help, please!

Thanks!
Susan Littlefield
