1. Introduction and Correction.

Yesterday, I posted a couple of links to appreciations on line of the Charles River White Geese.

I just discovered I posted the same link twice for different reports.  I have corrected the link in the post, but, for the record, here is the correct link for Charles River Geese by Maud Dillingham:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXYQqjoidIM.

And here are a couple of others.  There are MANY posts on the Charles River White Geese.

2. White Geese of Cambridge by Ernest Sarno.

This report was created in November 2009.  It is a loving job.

It commences with an evening video of the Charles River White Geese feeding across from the Hyatt Regency Hotel, in an area which has since been destroyed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation supported by Cambridge, along with EVERY TREE.

The film may include an area slightly east of the Hyatt, apparently showing a portion destroyed by Cambridge on behalf of the DCR in the name of sewer work.

The middle of the film shows the construction zone created by the DCR in the Destroyed Nesting Area for BU Bridge work.  Part of the destruction was necessary.  The portion shown by the film was not necessary, just part of the destructiveness of this terrible agency.

The latter part shows the Charles River White Geese in Destroyed Nesting Area, in the area where the ground vegetation was destroyed by the falsely named Charles River “Conservancy” acting as agent for the DCR.  This was before the situation was made even worse by railroad workers with DCR blessing.

This good report may be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXYQqjoidIM.

They put in a good word for Friends of the White Geese, as well.

3. Historic Pages: The Charles River White Geese.

These are beautiful photographs created and well displayed by Phil Barber, a Cambridgeport resident who has for many years recorded the Charles River.

4. The destruction of Memorial Drive . . . 2016, Final Cut.

The pits so far by the state bureaucrats with the support of the City of Cambridge, with Cambridge, the DCR and Cheerleaders fighting to make things even worse.

1. Introduction.

Here are some older films of the Charles River White Geese in their Nesting Area.

2. 2007, Maude Dillingham.

A 2007 shoot shows them feeding, shudder, across the on ramp to Memorial Drive.  The Department of Conservation and Recreation, in their fight to drive away or kill all resident animals, has now added to their starvation wall a wall blocking the entrance / exit to the Destroyed Nesting Area.

Vegetation, shudder, can actually be seen in the Destroyed Nesting Area.  This is before the really bad destruction other than from the falsely named Charles River “Conservancy.”

Starvation is the goal.  This food has been since been taken away from them.

This was long before the most recent outrage / destruction of hundreds of trees and animal habitat, as seen in our report posted at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTplCCEJP7o.


3. 2010 video of a young gaggle, Kathy Podgers.

The destruction of ground vegetation by the falsely named Charles River "Conservancy" is distressingly clear.

But the parents are showing their babies the world.
