Overbrook’s goose hunt Saturday was canceled due to good weather — for the humans, not the birds.
Temperatures were in the 50s on Saturday, making it less than conducive for the geese at Overbrook City Lake and Overbrook Kid’s Fishing Pond to be at either lake. As a result, City Clerk Jim Koger says the decision was made to cancel the hunt as opposed to postponing it.
The town has had ongoing issues with geese the past several years, with the birds contributing to nearly annual issues with toxic blue-green algae. As many as 80 geese were at the town’s lakes last summer.
Hunts are still planned for Jan. 19, Feb. 2 and Feb. 16.
