COCCIDIA OF ALEUTIAN CANADA GEESE
Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 1981Fecal samples from 122 captive and 130 free-ranging Aleutian Canada geese (Branta canadensis leucopareia) were examined for oocysts of coccidia. Free-ranging geese sampled on the spring staging ground near Crescent City, California were infected with Eimeria hermani, E. truncata, E. magnalabia, E. fulva, E. clarkei and Tyzzeria parvula.

Abstract Geese are normally herbivorous. I report an instance of Canada Geese (Branta canadensis) feeding on alkali flies (Ephydra hians) at hypersaline Mono Lake, California. The bout was brief and possibly represented exploratory behavior by inexperienced birds.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1964
This study was designed to determine what percent of 1-, 2-, and 3-year-old wild geese (Branta canadensis moffitti) nest in a population of limited size; to compare results with similar information from captive flocks; and, by applying the breeding-age data obtained, to determine the percent of breeding geese in the Flathead Valley population.

Lead Poisoning in Canada Geese in Delaware
Avian Diseases, 1967483 geese died at the Bombay Hook Wildlife Refuge between November 1965 and April 1966. All but one goose had enough lead in the liver to indicate lead poisoning as the cause of death. Delaware waterfowl biologists have estimated that perhaps as many as 2000-4000 geese succumbed to what appears to be lead poisoning during the winter of 1965-66.

Since 1958, Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in Missouri have used elevated nesting sites where losses to floods and most mammalian predators are eliminated. Wash tubs mounted on pipe were acceptable nest sites. Optimum tub spacing in open marshes was probably about one nest site per acre, provided a suitable loafing site was available for the gander ...
