Description

A total of 136 observations of Aleutian Canada geese were made on the SW, SE, and W sides of Chagulak Island on three different dates. The majority of the birds observed were either not banded or too far away to determine if they had leg bands. Most of the birds observed were either paired or in small flocks of ten or fewer birds which exhibited some territoriality. The number of potential duplicate observations made is unknown because of changes in weather, time and location. The birds were seen mainly in the mossywillow habitat and upper edge of the Elynmus umbell habitat.
