Abstract: In the spring of 1947 the authors made a nesting survey of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) along a 40-mile stretch of the Snake River. The study was conducted in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, directly south of Yellowstone Park. Much of the soil of this intermontane valley is composed of glaciated gravel outwash, through which the Snake River channels have cut, forming gravel bars and islands. The bars, strewn with piles of drift and scantily covered with willow and cottonwood saplings, offer unusually desirable nest sites for Canada geese.
