Canada geese were banded at multiple locations across the state of Nebraska. During the study period, banding effort was concentrated in the southeast subpopulation and geese were not banded in the Panhandle or Sandhills subpopulations prior to 2011 or in the Platte subpopulation prior to 2012. Geese were captured during a single visit to each site by driving birds into a corral during their summer molt, when they are incapable of sustained flight (Cooch 1953). Small boats with outboard motors and kayaks were used to drive geese located over water to the shore. Upon capture, geese were aged as hatch-year (hatched during the current year) or after-hatch-year (hatched sometime prior to the current season), sexed, marked with a standard U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) metal leg band, and immediately released. Goose banding was authorized by the USGS Bird Banding Lab (permit 06515). We obtained banding and recovery records for all Canada geese banded in Nebraska 2006-2017 (including the 2017-2018 hunting season) from the USGS Bird Banding Lab and recapture records from the NGPC. We included all wild caught birds but excluded those that were marked with neck collars or telemetry devices. We also excluded birds that were re-encountered but their band was removed, were turned over to a rehabilitation facility, were removed to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts, or had erroneous encounter histories (e.g. being reported alive after being reported dead). We organized the data using program R.
