Everything We Thought We Knew About Snow Geese Was Wrong
What's going on with snow goose populations? Are they up or down? And what effect are snow goose numbers having on the health of other birds?

When the spring conservation order was passed and implemented in 1999, the Pacific Flyway was left out because light goose numbers were low. Well, since then, Pacific Flyway geese have increased exponentially with birds breeding on Wrangel Island (Russia) and Western Arctic birds that breed from Banks Island (part of the Northwest Territories) to the north slope of Alaska. They went from virtually none to 2.5 million birds strong.
Certainly seems like the pacific flyway may see a spring season at some point.
