Ep. 174 – Scientific Look at the 2020 Snow Goose Hatch
from Ducks Unlimited Podcast · host Ducks Unlimited Inc
Hunter reports on snow geese suggest everything from a horrible hatch to great production, but what do researchers say? Lacking data from goose banding operations, we turn to field-based surveys of staging geese in prairie Saskatchewan. Worldwide snow goose expert, Dr. Ray Alisauskas, provides our first empirical look at snow and Ross’s goose production in 2020, and we then discuss explanations for low production and populations declines for white geese in the Midcontinent.www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
