Pink Geese Fly
If Alaskans start seeing pink,
green and yellow geese, they
shouldn’t hurriedly take the
pledge..
Instead, they should notify Dr.
John L. Buckley, ^iead of the coop
erative wildlife research unit at
the University of Alaska.
Today he said that U. S. Fish and
Wildlife Service personnel coop
erated with the California depart
ment of fish and game to provide a
means of tracing geese on their
northward migration of breeding
grounds.
Accordingly, they dyed lesser
snow geese pirk, later migrating
lesser snow geese green, and Ross’
geese yellow.
