Dateline, Sunday January 18th Mount Clemens, MI
Sounding like the set up for a goofy joke, or maybe a Far Side cartoon: The Macomb Country Sheriff’s Department has reported their divers have freed a goose that sat too long in a the chilly Clinton River in a Detroit suburb, and got stuck. The goose (presumably a Canada goose) was reported Friday, frozen solid into the ice. How embarrassing! The divers and a marine officer first tried pouring warm water around the bird, but no luck. Next they resorted to chipping away at the ice, and, after an hour, managed to get the bird loose. It was further reported that the newly-freed bird honked, and then waddled off to join some other geese in nearby open water. One can only imagine the razing it got upon its return.
