Breeding conditions:
|
| Local Inuvialuit residents indicated that spring snow melt in 2006 occurred very rapidly and earlier than usual and that large numbers of geese nested. Observations made during goose banding in July indicate that good numbers of broods were present. Therefore, production of Snow Geese was predicted to be above average on Banks Island this year.
