In part two of this species profile of the white-fronted goose, or specklebelly goose, USGS research ecologist, Dr. Jay Von Bank, wraps up our discussion about “specks.” We talk about spring migration, the rigors of Arctic nesting, population size and growth, the oldest white-front ever documented, patterns of harvest, why specklebellies are such great table fare, and how they have changed the waterfowl hunting landscape.
