Goose

Stephen Honking

Rescue-versary: November 18, 2023

Found with 26 other geese at a freeway off-ramp in Ogden, crossing the road several times a day. They are a domesticated breed that can't fly, so they could never have supported themselves out there. Wasatch Wanderers rescued the flock, and we had room for six of them.

Personality: Takes his naps with the other geese, bathes in the water trough, and is the peace keeper of the geese.
