Lishman looking for lost geese Father Goose has lost his geese and would like to know where they are. Bill Lishman contacted the Port Perry Star Monday morning asking for help in locating the whereabouts of the 12 Canada Geese he made his migratory flight with last fall. The geese came back to Purple Hill in the spring and have been making their home in the area, but since molting Mr. Lishman has lost track of the geese. He says they will be flight- less for about one month while they grow new flight feathers so he suspects they are gathered together in one area. The geese have a distinc- tive neck band which is grey with black letters and verti- cal yellow bands. They are lettered vertically starting with a"K."* . Mr. Lishman's asking anyone who might see them to call 986-1059 and speak with himself or Kirk, or leave a message.
