DENVER—The impaled Canada goose that’s been evading rescuers for more than a month has been captured and treated.
The Denver Post reported that the male goose with an arrow in its chest was caught Thursday in Denver by volunteers with the Wild Bird Rehabilitation Center.
The arrow was removed and the goose was given antibiotics. The veterinarian treating the goose says it has been doing well since the surgery. The goose will be released back into the wild once it heals.
The goose was first spotted in Denver’s Washington Park on Feb. 12. A week later it was seen at Garland Park, where it was eventually captured. It has managed to avoid several attempts by Colorado Division of Wildlife officers to catch it.
