Dear John:
Thank you for reporting the neck collared Canada Goose. Approximately 7000-8000 Canada Geese are banded annually in northern Ontario and James Bay to enable wildlife agencies to track movements, estimate survival, monitor harvest and plan for sustainable populations of geese. The banding is supported by the states and provinces of the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyway Councils and the federal governments of the US and Canada. Reports such as yours are important to the success of the program.
The details of the bird that you reported (M3F7) are as follows:
This bird was banded as an adult male on July 20, 1999, fifteen miles east of Winisk, Hudson Bay, Ontario in the degree block 5510 8450. The federal band number is 0918-55029.
