Hunting vulnerability of local and migrant Canada geese: a comment
Article Abstract:
Mark S. Lindberg and Richard A. Malecki presented in their 1994 report an estimate of vulnerability of the large local Canada geese and smaller migrants. Harvest of the former is larger than availability while the inverse is true for the latter. An assessment of the assumptions in their calculations was made based on recalculations of their data. Findings show that the high vulnerability of the large Canada geese resulted from an underestimation of their fall population and an overestimation of harvest.

Molt migrant Canada geese in northern Ontario and western James Bay
Article Abstract:
A new migration monitoring survey of molt migrant Canada geese investigates whether there is a meaningful premolt movement from reintroduced and restored populations in southern Canada and mid-US into northern Ontario and western James Bay. Migration chronology, demographic characteristics and origins of molt migration were examined and show that increased populations of giant Canada geese and declining availability of habitat will increase competition between Canada geese populations.

Hunting vulnerability of local and migrant Canada geese: a reply
Article Abstract:
James Leafloor et al. claimed that our calculation resulted in overestimation of harvest and underestimation of population of local large Canada geese. Their calculations, however, used bias adjustments which left a greater margin of error. Their claims that the assumptions regarding harvest and population is not valid are moot and their conclusions regarding vulnerability can be misleading due to erroneous data.
