[TN-Bird] Canada Goose

On a KTOS field trip to Cove Lake State Park in Campbell County on
3/14/2004 we noted a Canada goose with an orange neck collar with white
lettering.  I assumed it was a local breeder, being it was under the
feeders at the restaurant in the park.  For entertainment value I wrote
down the numbers and sent them in to the banding lab via on-line data
entry.  We received a note from the USGS folks today indicating that the
bird had been banded near East Point Onterio, Canada on 7/8/1999.  At
the time it was banded it was an after hatch year bird.  I was
surprised.  I wonder if any of the other Canada geese in the park that
day were migrants as well.  We did see a juvenile snow goose associating
with two other white geese of questionable heritage that day.
