Description

In the summer of 1961, reproductive success among North American geese was seldom better than fair, and in some cases was decidedly poor. Nesting conditions apparently were unsatisfactory in many parts of the Arctic breeding grounds of these geese. Only those species having very extensive and diversified nesting ranges seemed able to escape the full brunt of the debacle. Yet the populations of most geese will enter the 1962 breeding season with some great advantages.
