Canada Goose Nests on Downtown Milwaukee Bridge

Michael and Michelle Schwade stand with their two kids, Samuel 4, and Ellie 1, while looking at a Canada goose that has taken up residence on near the Wisconsin Ave. Bridge on Tuesday, April 30, 2013. The goose is near to the statues dedicated to Gertie the duck who made international news when she built her nest next to the same bridge in 1945 and captured the attention of Milwaukee at the end of the war. A statue commemorating “Gertie the Duck” sits on the other side of the bridge. The goose has several eggs she is sitting on. (Mike De Sisti)
