Found this bird stunned in the middle of the road. Let me pick them up and move them to a safe tree on the side. They were bleeding slightly from the head, but flew a few feet away. Hopefully they make a full recovery ❤️‍🩹

Found a goose egg at the bottom of the lake while on a kayak trash patrol with PugetSoundKeeper. Does anyone have any ideas how it could’ve ended up there? We didn’t see any nearby nests although there were obvious signs of geese presence. We agreed it was safe to assume if the egg had been fertilized the baby had either drowned from lake water osmosis or died from hypothermia. Cracked it open and the yolk appeared unfertilized, but huge. Either swollen with water or that’s just how big geese eggs are. Shell was think and inner membrane also tough.
