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.

The Wilson Bulletin, 2004
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.

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 ...

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.

Mate retention in Giant Canada Geese
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1988Of 73 pairs of Giant Canada Geese (Branta canadensis maxima) in which both members of the pair were marked with individually identifiable neckbands, 68 (93%) remained together for as long as both members were alive or retained their markers. Collectively, these data represent 183 years of pair histories (sum of pairs × years of records). One pair that

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 ...
