| Canadian geese make a home on Boise rooftop |
The Mulvanney Medical Office Building on the St. Alphonsus Hospital campus has a surprise tenant. This mother goose, oblivious to the stir she is creating inside the building, has settled in with a nest of native grasses and down feathers on the 2nd floor rooftop garden just two feet from the office of the building supervisor. Our Dave Davies was on site for a tenant improvement project and took this photo through the window. The reflective coating on the exterior of the windows may explain why she isn't bothered by the crowd.
Designed by CSHQA landscape architect Kyle Hemley, ASLA, the garden of native and low water plants is one of the sustainable design features that led to LEED Gold for the project. The grasses are wearing their fall haircut and will begin to green up and grow in a month or so. By that time the four eggs now in the nest will hopefully have become four baby goslings.
