ANAHEIM, Calif. – Orange County authorities are trying to catch a rare Egyptian goose that has an arrow through its neck.
The Orange County Register says the non-native bird was first reported to animal control officers about a week ago near the Anaheim Hills Golf Course.

Orange County Animal Care spokeswoman Katie Ingram says authorities suspect the goose was intentionally shot.
Officers want to help the injured bird. But Ingram says the arrow apparently missed vital organs, and every time officers get close, the bird flies away.
She says the goose has moved to a storm-drain marsh where it has food and water.
Ingram says it apparently recognizes the uniforms of animal control officers. So on Wednesday morning, an officer in plainclothes will try to capture it.
