Abstract

Branta bernicla primarily used the tidal bay while B. canadensis were concentrated around freshwater ponds. Temporal and weather-related factors influenced the number of flocks and individuals of Canada geese, while temporal, tidal and weather factors influenced brant. The largest numbers of brant and their flocks were present on the bay on falling tides and at low tides. -from Authors
