Abstract
Goose roundup called inhumane. During the early summer, goose problems affect cities across the United States. Summer is also the time to round up many of these geese for relocation or for euthanization. In Oregon, nuisance Canada geese are being used to feed the hungry. A similar goose‑removal project was carried out at Saddle River County Park, New Jersey.
National Park Service spares geese around JFK airport. Federal and local agencies have requested that the NPS reduce the goose population in the Gateway National Recreation Area.
Looking for wildlife at the Great Falls, Montana, airport. Similar to many airports across the country, the airport at Great Falls, Montana, is working on its wildlife hazard plan, which is mandated by the Federal Aviation Administration, to reduce wildlife-aircraft strikes.
White-nose syndrome continues to spread among bats. The disease has now spread southward from near Albany, New York, through much of the Appalachian Mountains and westward into Missouri. Wildlife managers recommend a high level of biosecurity for those who routinely work with bats.
Mountain lion sighting confirmed by a state official in central Indiana. The determination was made from photographs taken by a motion‑sensitive game camera.
