    Default Bad news for snow geese and other northern birds

    Snow Geese might not be able to raise young birds at all this year due to a very late beginning of spring: http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/opi...-47992231.html

    Perhaps in the central arctic. I'm sampling at various sites along the Beaufort Sea and nesting is well underway (indeed some birds are hatching). Quite brisk now but it was warm earlier in the month.

    Thanks, Declan! I've read that there are so many snow geese that they destroy the ecosystem of the breeding grounds. Maybe the late spring will give those areas some time to recover.

    Don't worry. We've got Canada geese families living fine here.
