CHICAGO — What the pluck?

An Auburn Gresham man was nabbed in Irving Park Sunday night for illegal possession...of a goose, police said.

Angel Bautista-Perez, 29, was charged with possession of a migratory bird after he was picked up about 7:30 p.m. in the 3600 block of North California Avenue, police said.

According to the Chicago Tribune, the manager of a Christmas tree lot nearby spotted the fowl in the back of the suspect's car and called police.
