Monitoring emperor goose populations by aerial counts and fall age ratio - 2002

Metadata Updated: October 10, 2019

In 2002, we photographed flocks of emperor geese (Chen canagica) during fall migration at lagoons along the north side of the Alaska Peninsula for the 18th consecutive year. The gray head plumage of young geese differs from the uniform white heads of adult geese. Cluster sampling by photographs within each lagoon and stratified sampling among lagoons provided an unbiased estimate of age ratio for the entire population. The number of geese counted at each lagoon during an independent aerial survey determined the strata weights. Annual estimation of age ratio and total fall population size were used to monitor annual production, population size, and estimate average survival rate. Data from 1985-2002 indicated an average 19% of the fall emperor goose population were young birds. The age ratio ranged from 15-26%. The average annual population growth rate was 1.002 from 1985 to 2002 as calculated by exponential regression. The combined-age annual survival rate averaged 0.831.
