Snow Goose banding results





The mailperson brought a treat yesterday in the form of a banded bird
certificate of appreciation from the BBL.  It was for a Lesser Snow Goose I saw
at Chincoteague last November.  The big surprise was the age of the bird... at
least 12 years old!  She was hatched in 1987 or earlier and banded 24 miles
southwest of Johnson Point, Northwest Territories, Canada.  Now I know why her
collar looked different from the rest!

Best,
