AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO THE MANAGEMENT OF URBAN CANADA GOOSE DEPREDATIONS
Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in the Reno-Sparks, Nevada urban area have become a problem of increasing significance. Nuisance complaints from city parks, golf courses, and housing developments augment the bird hazard to aircraft operations at the local airport. Eleven goose collisions with comme...
