Strange Sights!

This has definitely been a day of strange sights. Oh the joys of life! As I was on my way to work this morning, I heard this noise. As I looked over to my right, I saw a group of ducks running towards the fence. The bad thing was, I noticed that one seemed a little more stressed than the others. It was at the head of the group. I became keenly and quickly aware that this poor fellow wasn't leading the group...He was running from the group. The guy right before him, literally on his back feather, was quacking away incessantly. The "leader" of the pack leapt off his webbed feet and onto the fence. The others just kept quacking at him. I don't know what the squabble was about, but I couldn't help but think, "I wonder what ruffled their feathers!" (no pun intended). As the group continued to squawk and scream at the sitting duck on the fence, he just gathered his head into his body and relaxed! Nothing could bother him now! He was safe on top of his fence. I almost felt sorry for the others on the ground, just screaming away at him. He was ignoring them---and the better off for it---and they were needlessly misusing their time and energy!

Then, as I headed home for lunch, I again saw something that you just don't see every day! As I walked out the back door of the building, I saw a white truck. Not unusual. But then I saw that it had writing on it! Not unusual. But then, I noticed the words! UNUSUAL! GOOSE PROTECTION AND TRACKING. Now that you don't see everyday! I mean, how many times a year do you see or even hear of a Goose Squad! But good old Schaumburg has them all---skunks, coyotes, and goose tracking teams. Hey! To each his own. What would we do without them---the trackers that is!
