Mainly though, there are geese. Tons and tons of geese. They are everywhere, from parks to school yards to grassy shoulders of the highway. And apparently, they are also invading Coors Field, home of the Colorado Rockies. What could they do, what with Spring Training around the corner and a whole bunch of geese nibbling the grass and then… well… doing what geese do with grass that has been eaten.

What to do, indeed. Meet the new outfielders at Coors Field. I don’t think they’ll be great at bat, though.. They are plastic coyotes! Anyone who has ever hung a fake owl to scare off other birds knows what’s going on here. The hope is that the coyote, especially in a “hunting” posture, will be enough to scare the geese into finding somewhere else to eat and poop.

When I shared this story with Heather over at the Las Vegas Adventurer, her only question was, “Where did they find plastic coyotes?”

I have no idea, but now I sort of want one.
