CHP officer aids baby geese trying to cross Highway 101 in northern Santa Rosa

A determined family of geese and goslings were rescued and relocated by a CHP officer who caught them trying to walk across Highway 101 in northern Santa Rosa, the CHP said Monday.

A few drivers called for help Saturday at about 6:40 p.m. to report what appeared to be ducks and ducklings on the edge of Highway 101 at River Road.

Officer Josh Phillips, on patrol in the area, took the call and found two Canadian geese and five goslings trying to cross the highway, Officer Jon Sloat said Monday.

Phillips tried shooing them away, but they apparently wouldn’t leave on their own. The officer then caught them in some kind of bag and moved them away from the highway, Sloat said.

“They were determined to cross the road just like the chicken that set a bad example,” Sloat said.
