Description

Nesting success was high in 1990, and moderate numbers of subadult birds, which may nest in future years, were present. Furthermore, a translocation of 38 geese from Buldir Island in August supplemented the 1990 production at NizkiAlaid Byrd and Mayock 1990.The program to reestablish Aleutian Canada geese at NizkiAlaid is off to a good start. Nevertheless, this small nucleus from which a selfsustaining population must ultimately develop needs to be carefully watched and supplemented until it reaches a level 2025 pairs which would be relatively safe from extinction due to random processes.
