Welcome to Geese in Space - The Next Generation, a unique three year study using satellite technology that is helping Ducks Unlimited learn more about the Canada geese in Newfoundland and Labrador.

In 1999 the Geese in Space project was launched with 22 geese being tagged with satellite transmitters. The goal was to discover more about the little known movements of the North Atlantic population of Canada geese. Waterfowl biologists need to know more about the geese to improve estimates of the number of birds that can be harvested. Important details about the migration patterns of geese were learned and data from the whole year is now available. The movements of 14 geese from last year can still be observed on this site.

For Geese in Space - The Next Generation 24 geese were tagged in August 2000, with the movements of a dozen being tracked on this web site. Researchers are paying close attention to 14 geese in Churchill Falls, Labrador to see whether or not they stage in Prince Edward Island.

Tthe study is made possible with generous support from Ducks Unlimited Canada, Ducks Unlimited Inc., the Knox Foundation, the New York Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit at Cornell University, Tudor Farms Inc., and the National Environmental Research Institute of Denmark.

Track the day-by-day movements of gesse that were tagged in 1999 and 2000.
