Snows in Rosemount
While driving by Rosemount High School this morning I saw what looked to be about a hundred snow geese mixed in with Canadas in the soccer fields. Thought they were seagulls at first, but drove by a second time, and sure as  :censored: they were snows, and about 20 of them had neckbands on them. Odd place to see them.

Wish some of the farmers around the Rosemount are would loosen up their No Hunting on their fields, tens of thousands of geese in that city alone.

Best Hunting!'

What's the difference between the neckband and a leg band?

Re: Snows in Rosemount
Neck bands or collars are useful to quickly locate and identify individual geese in a flock. If you should see a neck band on a goose, take note of its number, its color, and the color of its numbers. You can report the location of the band encounter by calling the Bird Banding Laboratory toll free number at 1 800-327-BAND. Your report will help gain information on the bird, and you will receive a nice certificate for your efforts.

Basically it is the same thing as a leg band, just easier to count in the big flocks of birds for counting and migration monitoring survival rates.

Images, sorry if I mistook your question but did explain best of what I could find and included pictures...

An ongoing inside joke with FireRanger that's all.
