Breeding conditions:
|
| Spring phenology on Banks Island was near average and biologists reported a good nesting effort for Snow Geese. Survey crews reported relatively small numbers of geese nesting at the Anderson River and Kendall Island colonies, where spring conditions were favorable. Production likely will be near average for this population.
