Torngat Secretariat

Have any hunters shot a banded bird?

Torngat Wildlife, Plants and Fisheries Secretariat says to report it, or send them the information from the bird(s) and they will take care of the rest for you.

They can learn a lot about Labrador geese by seeing where birds harvested were initially banded.

Just earlier this month, 3 geese with neck bands were harvested and they learned that they came from all the way from their colleagues in Greenland, who put them on this past July.

This helps to provide answers to where the Lesser geese in Nunatsiavut are coming from and with collars that will put this fall, they will even learn more where these geese are spending the rest of their year.
