Sympatric Nesting Eastern Prairie Population (EPP) Canada Geese and Lesser Snow Geese on the Hudson Bay Lowlands: Nest Depredation and Spatial Distribution (2004 Annual Report)

Currently, there is concern about the influence of increasing nesting light goose populations (lesser snow goose [Chen caerulescens caerulescens] and Ross’s goose [Chen rossii]) on breeding Canada geese (Ankney 1996, Batt 1997, Walter 1999, Nack 2003, Nack and Andersen 2004, Gleason et al. 2004), an...
