Pennsylvania Game Commission’s annual goose banding

Pennsylvania Game Commission’s annual goose banding
 is underway in Fayetteville, Franklin County, on Monday, June 18, 2018.

Biologists began banding a sample of resident Canada geese throughout the Commonwealth as part of their management program for this species. The information on goose population dynamics and movements obtained from subsequent recoveries of banded geese is vital for the evaluation of hunting seasons and maintenance of Canada goose hunting opportunities.   Markell DeLoatch,
