Resource Abstract:
- description: The summer banding of Canada geese in northern Quebec did not go as well as expected. My intent this year was
to leg- and neckband a large sample of adult and young-of-the-year birds on the western side of the Ungava peninsula. This
is a region that we identified from last year's spring breeding pair survey as containing a significant portion of the
Atlantic Flyway breeding population. The banding crew was based out of Inukjuak for 3 days (July 18-20). We thoroughly covered
the land area within a 60-80 mile radius of this settlement and did not band a single bird. All indications are that geese
in this region experienced a "bust" in production with essentially no young being produced. The purpose of this
study is to identify characteristics distinctive to the various resident and migrant goose populations which occur in Crawford
County PA during the fall and winter. Northwestern Pennsylvania (PA) has been identified as a primary stop-over area for geese
affiliated with the South Atlantic and Tennessee Valley Populations . Legband returns and observations of neckbanded geese
indicate that these southern wintering birds are part of the fall and winter harvest in this area of the state. Efforts to
reduce this mortality through harvest regulations are complicated by a poor understanding of the movements of these geese
through the area. The presence of substantial numbers of both migrant geese, associated with wintering areas in the Chesapeake
Bay region, and resident geese create further complications.; abstract: The summer banding of Canada geese in northern Quebec
