Greater snow geese migrate north to the eastern arctic region in spring. Their flyway population is 800,000 and growing by about nine percent annually. Waterfowl biologists are concerned the birds may exceed the carrying capacity of their breeding grounds in the near future without some sort of intervention. The birds are already overtaxing the food sources of their winter range in and around coastal marshes from New Jersey to North Carolina. ~ full story here ~Game Commission ~
