NORTHBOUND Last despite the temperature flocks of Canada Geese were seen flying northbound probably to a rendezvous somewhere In Bay or the North Channel Our waterfowl have uncanny weather instincts They must nave known of the early win last fall which accounted for their early flight south They are known to nest from Moose Factory on James Bay to Eskimo Point on Hudson Bay Also on the Western tie marshes The first large scale prog ram designed to reestablish breeding flocks of the giant pedes of Canada geese Ontario Is being conducted by the Lake Huron district Ash and wildlife staff of the dep artment of lands and forests In with the Waterfowl Research Station at The Giant Canada Goose large bird that once nested throughout the southern Canadian prairies the northern prairie states and eastward through the lake States into southwestern On Although never ant thej well Known to the old time western a race of huge geese com pared to the mors common Hudson Boy Atlantic Leaser Canada geese that dora exceed lbs weight These big honkers frequently weighed in at 12 to 18 lbs and they had a wing spread of six feet or more CONSIDERED EXTINCT Unfortunately towards the end of the last century giant gradually dined in numbers In the early 1900s thoy were seen but rare ly and were considered to be between and Rediscovery of the giant birds occurred In January when Harold Hanson of the Illinois Natural History Survey was weighing speclm ens of Canada geese captured from a flk that were over wintering at Rochester Minn The survey crew came with what seemed to be weights for these birds and believed their scales must be faulty The scales were re- checked and the weights verlf led Subsequent Investigation conclusively proved that giant were not extinct ARTIFICIAL NlfTS Mans Influence on the ern areas has resulted in to day shortage of suitable nesting sites for the Canada goose Therefore teaching young geese to accept artificial nesting structures will be an important feature in their This teaching process called imprinting is accomplished by placing newly hatched geese in elevated nesting structures Approximately two feet above water during their first hours of life and forcing them to Jump down several times into the water Birds that are imprinted in this manner will seek out simitar nesting Iocs tions at maturity and the man made nesting structures will be provided for them PROTECTION The raised platform gives the nest protection from and from water level fluc tuations and since both par zealously guard the nut and the immediate vicinity these nesting platforms have added advantage of gand ers being able to only stake out a very small claim In fact if there is a gander lander attached to the plat form he will tend to use it far guarding thp This feature allows many more birds in an area than would be possible otherwise These geese can so strongly imprinted made nesting structures that they will not want to nest on anything else The purpose of this lands and forests program is to get the Giant Canada multiply To give them chance it is necessary to rel ease them in an area that Is restricted from goose bunting The area In Lake Huron Forest
