	IA DNR: Frequent Questions about Canada geese
		The giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) that nest in Iowa are the largest of the 11 races of Canada geese found in North America.
		The geese used for this restoration program were descendants of wild giant Canada geese that had been captured in Iowa and southern Minnesota during the latter half of the 1800’s.
		Geese like to nest on muskrat houses and islands and frequently loose their nests to flooding when river and marsh water levels rise as a result of spring downpours.

	Welcome to the DNR Division of Fish and Wildlife Web Site (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Giant Canada geese (Branta canadensis maxima) were common birds in the upper Midwest before the arrival of the white man. Unregulated hunting and wetland drainage reduced the number of giant Canadas to the point where they were thought to be extinct.
		Canada geese lay an average of five eggs per clutch; if the nest is destroyed before incubation has begun, the goose may renest.
		Canada geese can ruin meticulously manicured lawns with their grazing activities and swimming areas can sometimes be seriously degraded when geese leave their droppings scattered about.

	Managing Wildlife Damage: Canada Goose (Branta canadensis)
		Canada geese primarily are grazers, which means that they forage on the tender new shoots and stems of grasses, clover, watercress, and aquatic plants.
		Canada geese are a part of our ecological system, they contribute to natural biological diversity, and they provide a variety of potential benefits to humans.
		Because Canada geese often congregate near bodies of water where easy access to adjacent foraging areas exists, the number of geese at such sites may be reduced simply by minimizing the amount and/or attractiveness of forage that exists near the pond.

	Canada Geese
		The geese raised in captivity and moved about by wildlife agencies were probably never strong migrants, and any tendency they may have had to migrate was affected by their captive propagation.
		Canada geese are attracted to short grasslands, which explains their affinity for the vast, feverishly tended lawns of suburbia.
		Canada geese are strongly monogamous and do not usually pair until a rather advanced age—for birds—of about three years.

	Urban Canada Geese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In the early 1960s, small groups of the "giant" Canada goose were rediscovered at a number of refuges, and federal and state agencies began a concerted effort to rebuild populations.
		Geese were captured and moved into new areas; eggs were taken and incubated to encourage second clutches; and in places where populations were re-established, "surplus" birds were moved to areas where geese were not yet found.
		The principal reason for the growing conflict is that relocated geese have not learned their species' migratory pathways, and instead have remained year-round in urban and suburban areas where wide lawns, parks, golf courses, and artificial ponds make perfect goose habitats.

	U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Migratory Bird Management, Issues, Atlantic Population of Canada Geese, ...
		The Atlantic Population (AP) of Canada geese was once considered the largest Canada goose population in North America and the staple of waterfowl hunters in the Atlantic Flyway.
		Populations of Canada geese are often difficult to delineate and manage independently, especially when they overlap during migration or intermingle on their wintering areas.
		After years of attempting to manage Canada geese from a wintering ground perspective, annual population and production surveys, and banding/marking programs centered on the breeding grounds are now recognized as being crucial to the recovery of AP geese and to the future management of all Canada geese in the Atlantic Flyway.

	Forest Preserve District of DuPage County -- Living With Canada Geese (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		While many of the Canada Geese seen in DuPage during the fall and winter are stopping off to feed during their annual migration from such northern locations as Canada, the Hudson Bay area and Wisconsin, many others have become year-round county residents attracted by the area's open waters and abundance of food.
		Often, the geese fly in a highly symmetrical V-formation, which is thought to cut down on wind resistance for the birds at the rear.
		Geese in DuPage County lay an average of five to seven creamy-white eggs that hatch sometime in May. The young leave the nest within 24 hours and usually fly within 70 days.

		By the early 1900s, migratory Canada geese populations that breed in the Hudson Bay region of Canada and winter in the Chesapeake Bay area were in sharp decline due to over-hunting.
		The giant Canadas are bigger than the Atlantic migrant geese (average 12 pounds compared to 8.8 pounds for migrants) and never migrated much from their homes in the Midwest.
		Populations of migrating Canada geese are decreasing because of poor reproduction on their arctic breeding grounds and competition there from vast numbers of snow geese.
