Geese Study

Geese Study

Washington Fish and Wildlife biologists and volunteers are putting leg bands on a thousand Canada geese to study population trends in Eastern Washington.

Waterfowl specialist Mikal Moore says they're trying to understand why nesting is declining in rural areas while complaints about urban geese have been rising.

The banding project began this week and continues through next Tuesday. Geese are currently easy to catch because they are molting and unable to fly.

Swimming Passes Gone

Swimming Passes Gone

The long summer months really seem to drag on if you can't afford to do anything. That's why the Salvation Army is trying to keep kids busy by providing free swim passes. It gives children a chance to hit up one of Spokane's many public pools all summer long.

But tonight, the Salvation Army has already passed out all 1,000 seasonal passes. Families took advantage of the offer and swiped them up in just a week.
