20 snow geese hit and killed on Richmond road: RCMP

Richmond RCMP are warning drivers to watch for flocks of migrating birds after about 20 snow geese were found mowed down on Blundell Road.

Over the past few days, police have received several reports of wild geese being run over on roads around the city.

On Monday morning, the snow geese were found dead in the 6200-block of Blundell and they appear to have been hit by a vehicle.

“Due to the large number of birds killed in this instance, Richmond RCMP has been liaising with the B.C. SPCA and an investigation into this matter continues,” said Cpl. Ian Henderson in a news release.

Then, early Wednesday, police were called about a large flock of geese near the intersection of No. 1 and Francis roads. Three geese were killed after likely being hit by a vehicle. The road was cleared and warning signs have been set up to advise drivers to use caution.
