Ottawa High Coyote Decoy

Apparently Baker Lake in Peru isn't the only place in Starved Rock Country where geese droppings are a problem.

Plastic coyotes have been installed on the baseball diamond and other fields at Ottawa High School. Athletic Director Mike Cooper says its an attempt to keep geese off the fields.

In recent years the city of Peru has deployed lifelike coyotes at Baker Lake to try and deter geese from gathering. At various times they've also used plastic swans in the water as a deterrent.
