tj,

It is just amazing what we can learn from these band studies and the overall study of wildlife. I never would have guessed that the juvenile geese flock with the migrators, mate, and then return to the area. What happens if they mate with a migrator? I guess they have a good argument about where to take up residence in the spring for the mating season, and then they go on. Or, maybe they come to some type of agreement to alternate each year. LOL Who knows.

I would have guessed that the magority of birds killed are juveniles. Seems like that is the majority of the birds we kill too. It's the young ones that want to get down the quickest. The older birds sit back there and wait until the dumber ones land before they commit.
