course are crying fowl this week after spotting an injured canada goose swimming in a pond with a target arrow embedded in its tail thegoose had been shot with an arrow and the pointed weapon remains stuck in the birds body as he swims around the pond at the mandarin golf country club formerly the windmills golf country club located on kennedy road south of the 19th avenue although an arrow stuck in the rearend may not be the most pleasant thing it does not appear to be hindering him he can still swim and eat says tracy smithacting fish and wildlife supervisor for the natural resources ministry the golf club is currently closed for construction and under new man agement but geese and other wildlife often settle in for the summer months during spring migration mr smith says an officer visited the site tuesday and found another arrow near the pond it would be safe to say the bird took the arrow at the pond or nearby whateveroccured out there is the result of illegal activity against wildlife mr smith says he adds the attempted killing of the goose is clearly not a hunting incident lets make that perfectly clear he also says that hunting the migratory bird this time of year is against the law and any holder of a migratory bird licence can hunt the birds from septernber to december but not vftth an arrow the expert explains that in the spring geese start to moult or lose their primary feathers during this time canada geese lose their flight feathers and cannot fly hes probably moulting right now and either now or very shortly that bird will not be able to fly mr smith says but the ministry officer who visitied the pond made the decision to leave the goose alone until after the moulting season when he needs to fly the officers felt they were putting too much stress on the bird trying to catch it and we dont want it to attempt to leave mr smith says he saysif the fowl leaves the pond with the arrow lodged in its back- side they may lose track of him geese often find a home in the nearby pond year after year and mr smith says something like this should never have happened people do some illegal things with wildlife but we will make every effort to help
