A controversial fence around Echo Park Lake is gone. Aggressive Canada geese have taken over, pooping on everything.
Nearly a dozen others have expressed interest in running for De León’s seat, which takes in all or part of downtown, Boyle Heights, El Sereno and Eagle Rock.In L.A. County, Fisher said, Canada geese have laid claim to several parks and golf courses where they have lots of water and grass — sustenance. They’re all over Apollo Park in Lancaster and Legg Lake within the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in South El Monte. And they have long been entrenched atEcho Park Lake, though, is smaller.
This summer, more than 200 Canada geese swarmed the 29-acre park, said Thomas DeBoe, an attorney and former chairman of the Echo Park LakeVietnam veteran Al Vargas Jr. enjoys feeding the geese at Echo Park Lake. “I come once or twice a week,” said Vargas who says feeding the geese is therapy. Vargas has named many of the geese. “One is called Waddles. One is called Meany. He shoos off others,” Vargas said.
DeBoe said that, despite complaints, the city’s parks and recreation department has not communicated what, if anything, it intends to do about the geese. The city can’t just capture and move the geese. They might have worn out their welcome — but the honkers have rights.— such as those at Echo Park Lake or those that lay their eggs on a homeowner’s lawn and won’t go away — a federal permit is required to remove nests and eggs, said Joanna Gilkeson, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.also is required to capture, handle or kill any Canada goose, resident or migratory, outside an established hunting season, Gilkeson said.
