Waterfowl

White-fronted Goose

Biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service often conduct White-Fronted Goose "round-ups" during the summer when the geese are flightless. These geese all received aluminum leg bands and coded neck collars for use in aiding biologists in the gathering of information about the birds.  This information, is hoped, will aid future management efforts.
