Molt Migration by Giant Canada Geese in Eastern South Dakota
Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017 We captured giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) in 7 counties in eastern South Dakota during the summer molting period, 2000–2003. We attached very high frequency (VHF) transmitters to 150 adult female geese with brood patches, and leg bands to
