Abstract: This booklet presents and evaluates the information obtained between July 1961 and July 1964 on a flock of Canada geese in Jackson Hole, Teton County, Wyoming. This cannot be considered to be the final work; environmental, population and harvest changes have occurred since 1964 and will occur in the future. However, it is hoped that this publication will serve as a stimulus to (1) protect existing goose nesting habitat from further losses, and (2) to initiate habitat improvements for the development of additional nest sites as a means of perpetuating this important wildlife resource.
