Fowl rush-hour: HOV lane shut as police herd baby geese off Long Island Expressway

PLAINVIEW, N.Y. – Some Long Island Expressway drivers may be grousing about geese when they discuss their morning rush-hour delays.

Newsday (http://nwsdy.li/1lp0Tws ) says an HOV lane in Plainview was closed for about 15 minutes Monday as police herded several baby geese to safety.

They got the goslings into a large cardboard box next to the centre barrier. The hissing mother flew above it.

The new whereabouts of the relocated fowl was not immediately known.
