Wildlife Crossing

Yes, even in places like this, the wildlife gets respect! I have been seeing this sign every morning on my way to the office for the last 3 years and it still makes me smile. I like what it stands for and I can testify that the people working around this sign truly take its meaning seriously. And indeed, the geese that have chosen to live around it, know it. One morning, one of the geese, of all places, decided to lay her egg inside the construction area, only a few feet away from the sign. We were all certain that it wouldn't take more than a few hours for that egg to become a giant scrambled egg, but the construction workers had a different idea. They installed a small fence around the egg that went all the way from pavement into the construction site and left a small hole in their fence to allow the happy parents access to their newly laid egg after hours. This lucky family became the talk of the day. We all followed our own private National geographic show until the new goose was finally born. The family moved out from the construction zone to the front lawn and have been living happily since with the rest of their troupe. Thanks to those nice and considerate construction workers!
