Plan Call Flock Of Geese for Big Marsh in Iowa
Conservation Commission acts on Big Marsh 2600 acre area north of Parkersburg to improve goose hunting. 206 Canadian geese from Missouri are kept in a 15 acre pen to form a call flock. The geese will stay this fall to attract migrants and may establish the marsh as a regular stopover and feeding point on the southward route.

Goose flight report shapes central Iowa refuge plan
Game managers describe a good goose flight in central and eastern Iowa last fall. A 200 bird call flock will help attract birds while marsh areas are planted with winter wheat to create green crops. The marsh will partly become a waterfowl refuge and the project aims to stopover and feed geese in fall, not nest. Captive birds have clipped primary wing feathers and will be released after regrowth.
