Spring Habitat Use and Diets of Midcontinent Adult Lesser Snow Geese

Decisions about habitat management for lesser snow geese (Chen caerulescens caerulescens) during spring migration are limited by the lack of information concerning their habitat use and diets. Consequently, we examined esophageal contents, habitat use, activity patterns, and feeding behavior of adult-plumaged snow geese from Oklahoma (Mar) to the coast of Hudson Bay (May), Ontario, in 1983-84
