Study measured population characteristics and foraging behavior of lesser snow goose (Anser caerulescens caerulescens) at La Perouse Bay, Cape Churchill, Whale River, and Thompson Point along the coast of Manitoba, Canada. Adult and juvenile birds were monitored annually to determine size, sex ratio, and juvenile survival at traditional and non-traditional breeding grounds. Vegetation sampling was conducted in late July of 1991 by collecting salt marsh turf samples and assessing plant biomass. Adjacent fresh water sedge meadows were sampled to determine number of grazed shoots.
