About our Goose

Click to read details

Our banded goose from Lyker's Pond is a female, hatched some time before 2015 and banded right near where we saw her. How exciting to be able to find out a bit about the history of a bird you spot!

I saw another banded bird some time ago and I am going to see if I can find out about that one too.

Band on the Run

We stopped at a favorite pond on Goldman Rd. yesterday to see what was shaking. No rare birds or anything exciting, but it is a place that never lets you down just the same.

Another pretty spot we found...too windy for many birds, but maybe later in the year

This time there was a pair of Canada Geese, one of which sported a yellow neck collar with numbers on it. 

I took some photos which showed the numbers quite clearly and came home to look up how to report the sighting.

This is the place to report bird bands that you see. I filled out the form and will be interested to see if I get a report of where the bird was banded. Won't that be cool?
