Please watch out for springtime wildlife
This is the rooftop of the apartment building Interurban Lofts next to Plaza Latina, where mating geese created a nest on our our natural roof. It was very exciting to see five little goslings appear and wasn’t long before Mama and Papa somehow got them down on the ground (pretty far up there.) I don’t know much about geese, but it’s my understanding once goslings have hatched, parents go seeking water.
Well … They went in the wrong direction and tried to cross Aurora at 9 AM. I am very sad to report that both adult geese were hit by cars in the process. Somehow the babies escaped injury. A tenant witnessed this and has been traumatized all day. I didn’t see this but shortly after, took my dog out and the geese family was on their way to the Interurban Trail through our parking lot. Mama was visibly injured, however both geese were waddling along protecting their babies. I’m posting this is to say “shame on you” for those who did not bother to stop for two extremely large geese trying to make their way across the street with their babies.
Also if you have any information about these geese, saw them, gave them any assistance, please post it in the comments here.
I did call PAWS. Their menu is so complicated and so long that by the time you get to talk to anyone, those geese could’ve been in Renton. Walking. PAWS was absolutely no help whatsoever. They wanted me to throw a blanket over the mother goose, separating her from her family. 
I do wonder where they’re spending the night.
