HOWELL, Mich. (AP) ? A Michigan community that's fed up with geese fouling up a beach is hoping fake coyotes encourage the birds to land elsewhere.

The Livingston County Daily Press & Argus of Howell and WHMI-FM report that the beach on Thompson Lake at Howell City Park is expected to be closed for the rest of the summer swimming season because of elevated E. coli levels. The beach was shut down this month and goose poop is blamed.

Debbie Mikula is director of the Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority. She says the fake coyotes have shown some success in keeping the birds away. They're being moved at night to trick the geese into thinking they're real.

The hope is that the beach about 45 miles northwest of Detroit will reopen next year.

My friend is marrying a guy whose family invented the industry of chasing geese off commercial properties. They ride around to office parks and airports all day and play with their specially trained dogs that chase the geese off the property.

Quite a lucrative business buts it is all about the dogs you use and how they are trained. Takes years before a dog is ready (ie will do it and not hurt the geese).

I believe it, I know in some places they hire these types of companies to keep birds off the runways so they don't fly into plane engines and make a mess not to mention clog things up on the plane.

I have a fake owl in my garden to keeps the birds away.

Would be a lot more cost effective if they just paid a handful of rednecks to come in with shotguns.
