Ep. 421 – The White-fronted Goose: Distribution, Movements, and Diet
from Ducks Unlimited Podcast · host Ducks Unlimited Inc.
In part one of this species profile of the white-fronted goose, or specklebelly goose, Dr. Jay Von Bank, USGS research ecologist, discusses this increasingly popular species that is providing new opportunities for hunters as they continue to expand their distribution. In this episode, we address whether barring can be used to determine the age or sex of birds; how and why the “speck” distribution has changed; what we’re learning from telemetry studies; and how their diet changes during winter. www.ducks.org/DUPodcast
