Distribution, abundance and productivity of fall staging lesser snow geese on coastal habitats of northeast Alaska and northwest Canada, 1982

Description

Fall staging of the western arctic lesser snow goose population was I. monitored on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge ANWR, Yukon Territory and the Mackenzie River delta from 7 August to 22 September I 1982. The onset of staging in 1982 was earlier than usual, but major arrivals were normal, occurring 2426 August. The duration of the staging period 20 days was the second longest observed since 1971. A gradual buildup in numbers occurred through late August and early September with 3040,000 birds estimated using the ANWR coastal plain at that time. Peak snow goose numbers were estimated on 1415 September at 107, 1072 13,866 in Alaska; 117,892 15,279 in Yukon, and 6155 in the Mackenzie delta, for a total western arctic population estimate of 231,119 29,242. Estimated productivity was low, at 4.6 young. Spatial variation in productivity was observed, with concentrations of higher productivity occurring in Alaska as compared to farther east, a pattern opposite to that observed in 1981.
