Five <br />of your sites, Canterbury, East and West Savage, Round, and St. Judes, are good candidates <br />for the research. <br />We are currently staffing for the egg work and could do the Little Canada sites if you <br />wish. Costs have been about 20% lower than summer trapping, and if more than 10 geese are <br />found at a location, we will do summer trapping at no additional cost. <br />Nest searching will start in early April when most females incubating and end in mid -May. <br />Let me know if you would like us to do egg destruction. <br />Warm regards, <br />Jim <br />Dr. Jim Cooper <br />The Canada Goose Program <br />651- 644 -6206 <br />
