Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area Superintendent Tim Provan, left, brings a honker to biologist Clair Jensen, center, who bands, while Larry Dalton, Desert Lake Waterfowl Managment Area Superintendent records sex, age and band number Lake Waterfowl Area Management superintendent Dalton and superintendents from the states other waterfowl management areas, their assistants and Jensen all participate in the goose roundup One marsh area is covered per day until all are accounted for In addition to aiding in determining population and productivity on Utah marshes, the bands also are valuable in migration studies The location of the birds are relayed to the Division by biologists or hunters in Utah and other states and provinces where the birds are trapped or harvested Yes, maybe their ears are buzzing and their bodies are itching, and maybe the geese have clawed them up a bit, but goose banding is the best part of a waterfowl biologists work Just ask Clair Jensen or Larry Dalton or any of the Divisions other goose banders Ferron Recent visitors in Ferron were Steven and Gail Christensen and family, they stayed with Stevens parents Dee and Barbra Christensen Gregg and Rebecca Mortensen and family spent their vacation here at the home of her parents Mr FKZUH FRINUNG CO.
