Box 86 <br />Orono, MN 55323 <br />2 1890 <br />! , <br />Dear Mr. Bernhardson: <br />We are just completed the Canada goose capture and translocation in the <br />Metropolitan Area. A total of 2,819 geese (1,097 adults and 1,722 young) <br />were trapped at 49 sites and transported elsewhere. Oklahoma took 400 <br />adults and Mississippi 697 for release on their wildlife areas. The goslings <br />were transported to Minnesota sites, mostly in the north, and released. <br />The crews trapped 97% of the geese they attempted to capture. In spite of <br />the hot weather, mortality during capture and transport was very low (2 <br />birds) and similar to previous years. <br />The locations, dates, and number of geese captured in your city were: <br />Location Date Young Adults Total <br />NORTH SHORE DRIVE <br />NARROWS BRIDGE AREA <br />Wocawvui- COUNTRY CLUB <br />TOTAL <br />6/29/90 <br />6/29/90 <br />7/9/90 <br />26 <br />25 <br />1 6 <br />67 <br />40 <br />1 2 <br />9 <br />61 <br />66 <br />37 <br />25 <br />128 <br />The cost of the 1990 removal was $1,000.
