Experimental Lead Poisoning of Canada Geese
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1966Canada geese (Branta canadensis) were experimentally exposed to known amounts of lead. The course of the lead and of the disease in geese was followed, utilizing established laboratory procedures. Gross signs of lead poisoning first appeared 5-7 days following ingestion.

The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1966
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 ...

The Occurrence of Gizzard Worms in Canada Geese
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1954The roundworm parasite, genus Amidostomum, occurs as an adult under the horny lining of the avian gizzard. It was originally described from domestic geese in Germany by Zeder in 1800, and has since been reported as a cause of extensive losses among these birds in Europe. Typical symptoms are loss of appetite, anemia, and emaciation. This syndrome could

Inter-Family Dominance in Canada Geese
The Auk, 1953SEVERAL factors combine to make the social habits of geese among the most interesting and complex in bird life: the slowness with which individuals become sexually mature and the resultant age stratification in the population (juveniles, yearlings, nonbreeding adults, and breeding adults); their high degree of gregariousness except during the breeding ...

Preflight and Flight Behavior of Canada Geese
The Auk, 1969CANADA Geese (Branta canadentsis) are highly traditional in their use of circumscribed nesting, migration, and winter localities (Hanson and Smith, 1950; Martin, 1964; Sherwood, 1966), patterns of movement and roosting in local areas (Raveling, 1969a), and timing of daily activities (Raveling, 1967: 135-157).

A Rapid Method of Sexing Canada Geese
The Journal of Wildlife Management, 1953in a muskrat trap and was dead from drowning. Examination of the duck revealed that in the thirteen days subsequent to banding and release the broken wing had begun to mend. The bone ends had fuzed and there were no external indications of the severe break so much in evidence less than two weeks earlier. It was the opinion of the authors that this bird
