To the driver who killed baby goose

To the man (and I use that word loosely) driving the silver sports car who was in such a hurry he couldn’t wait for a flock of Canada geese and their newborns to cross a side drive by the Naperville Post Office on Ogden Avenue on May 8: Are you kidding?

As you turn onto the access road, there is a short drive before you actually turn into the post office. As I turned off Ogden, I had to stop for a group of Canada geese that was crossing this road. This group consisted of two adults and about nine babies. No problem, as everyone stopped from both directions.

From the opposite direction was a guy in a newer silver sports car. (280Z, I think). So the geese crossed before us, and right after them was another similar sized family. We wait, no problem.

Now, as the last of the babies cross before us, Mr. “I’m in a hurry“ takes off and flattens the last bird. In addition to it being illegal to harm or kill protected animals such as these, you really need to look in the mirror, literally, and see what you did.

Sorry this little one-pound ball of feathers got in the way of your tires. Hope they wash off OK.

So, with that, I hope the Bluebird of Happiness eats a bunch of berries, and decides to get revenge on your paint job.
