[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I actually work at Fish and Wildlife Service. Canada geese are a federally protected species under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (ridiculous in the case of these nuisance birds!) It is illegal to harm or kill these birds. You actually can be arrested. I would definitely lay low, don't admit fault and if confronted say it was an accident. Cry a little.

Op here.
Yes, this is why I’m hiding out on DCUM instead of even looking at NextDoor or the list serve. Apparently I am being tarred and feathered on both (pun fully intended) and apparently I was now driving recklessly and plowed down the entire flock per an eyewitness.

Thank you to the poster for making me giggle with the thought of me cuddling this giant bird as it died.

I really thought of it like running over a squirrel, and was trying my best to maneuver around them.

OK, I just lost all sympathy for you. Killing this (admittedly annoying) animal, or leaving it to suffer in the middle of the road, isn’t giggle-worthy.

I’m not sure we’re getting the real lowdown from OP. Geese are huge, and if you “nick” one it loses a few feathers and keeps on trucking. And [b]geese don’t “graze” on suburban roads [/b]unless you live in Appalachia or somewhere with dirt roads. [/quote]
Dude, they do! Drive to Gaithersburg and see for yourself. [/quote]

So bad that Fairfax has a "Goose Management Program" also to address the overpopulation of resident geese.  And it's no where near illegal as it was an accident.  [/quote]
