CHICAGO (AP) — The iconic Wrigley Field bleachers welcomed an unusual guest during the Chicago Cubs' series against the San Diego Padres this weekend.
Photos on social media showed a goose nesting in a juniper planter next to the center-field seats underneath the scoreboard during Saturday’s game. Several rows of the upper bleachers were blocked off from fans Sunday while two Canada geese stood on a roof nearby. Fans snapped photos of the feathered duo before Sunday’s game began.
“At the Friendly Confines, we truly mean it when we say everyone’s welcome, including the goose and her nest who took up residence in the bleachers,” Cubs Senior Director of Communications Jennifer Martinez said in a statement to The Associated Press.
