Canadian Geese

Canada Goose nesting season is rapidly approaching here in the Carolinas, it is now possible to “addle” eggs during the incubation period. In order to do this legally it is necessary to visit the linked website and complete the required permit. Coating the egg with corn oil provides the best results. You can simply apply the oil with a spray bottle to completely coat the surface.

A north Scottsdale couple feel lucky to have made a rare sighting of three mountain lions this week on the fourth hole of Desert Mountain Golf Club’s Cochise Course.

Desert Mountain resident Linda Borman said she quickly snapped a few photographs on Monday afternoon after her husband, Ty, saw the mother and her two cubs lounging on the fairway of the 546-yard, par-5 hole.
