I'm in Colton, OR... Interested if there is any other Coltonians here?! Tiny town and I've only lived here four months so would be good to meet some locals! Although, Oregon City, Molalla, Estacada, Mulino, etc. are not all that far (considering).

HI!!!

From Ethel Washington that is. Hi from the other side of the big creek. I know there are some peeps in the Canby area but not sure I should tell ya about em. Not sure I wanna share some very good peeps.

Aw! But I'm a good peep too (most of the time). Please, share!

Canby isn't that far from me either.

Not sure exactly where Ethel, WA is? Going to have to do some Googling. Nice to meet ya' Pac NW neighbor!

Anyone familiar with the Fernhill Wetlands in Forest Grove? We were there today and there is a flock of brown Chinese domestic geese there. They are beautiful, quite tame and are likely going to be prey to coyotes or eagles or whatever. I spoke to the contact of Friends of Fernhill and he is open to a rescue if someone is able to offer them refuge. I know nothing about geese, really, but the folks on the Geese thread seemed to think they won't survive there due to their level of tameness and relative inability to fly.
Anyone interested?

The contact did not know how they came to be there. Dumped maybe?

Here's a video I took of them today:

We have a place here where they'd be safe. Five and half acres, and a boggy pond area we are going to relegate into a full pond in the spring. I have to check with my Mum, to get her take. Only issue would be catching them and getting them here. We are about an hour and a half away in Colton. But my Mum works in Hillsboro, so it's not the distance. May need to ask the folks on the Geese thread, on how to catch a Goose and safely transport it.

Will get back to you, let me just check with my Mum.

Good on ya' for worrying about them like that, and being proactive in trying to get them safe.

Someone on the Geese thread offered to give tips on catching them. If this is something you are able to do, I will have to get back to the Friends of Fernhill Wetlands guy to confirm whether there are any official requirements we have to satisfy or documentation, etc.
Thanks. Let me know what your mum says.
