Breeding conditions:

| The 2006 McConnell Ross's geese colony estimate was about 10% lower than the 2005 estimate and similar to that of 2004. Nesting phenology at the McConnell River appeared to be average or earlier, although local residents reported a colder than average spring. Mean clutch size was 3.3 and predation appeared to be low in 2006.
