Geese abandon southward winters amid new refuges and farming
Surveys show Canada geese shifting from ancient wintering routes across the Atlantic and Mississippi flyways. Half a million used to winter on the Delmarva Peninsula, but numbers in Florida, Louisiana, and Iowa decline as sanctuaries and crops lure them north. Biologists link the change to refuges and high-energy crops, noting shifts from coastal marshes to inland lakes and new refuges near Fort Collins and Squaw Creek.
