Tule Goose Banding Effort in California Sacramento Valley
Big Timber rancher Bob Elgas cooperates with the Interior Department on a Tule goose banding project at the Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge near Willows. Eleven-day field phase yielded no captures but provided data for future efforts and propagation plans. The Tule goose recently moved from endangered to rare status with little current knowledge on its breeding grounds and total population. Sacramento Refuge numbers in late November estimated at 150 to 200 birds.
