Tracking Data for Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons)
May 3, 2021
This metadata document describes VHF tracking data for Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) that were marked annually from 1987 to 1991 in Alaska and the Klamath Basin (Oregon and California) and subsequently tracked through the Pacific Flyway (primarily in Alaska, California, and Mexico). Only tracking data for geese marked or located, at least once, in Alaska are included in this data package. Data for Greater White-fronted Geese tagged at Klamath Basin that were never relocated in Alaska are not included.

Geographic variation in migratory behavior of greater white-fronted geese (Anser albifrons)
We studied the migration and winter distribution of adult Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons frontalis) radio-marked on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta (YKD) and Bristol Bay Lowlands (BBL) of Alaska from 1987 to 1992. The major autumn staging site for geese from both breeding areas was the Klamath Basin on the California/Oregon border. However, temporal use of this area differed markedly betwe
