Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Resource Utilization by Canada Geese at Rend Lake: Final Project Report
Rend Lake Refuge is a ha inviolate portion of the ha Rend Lake Wildlife Management Area managed primarily for Canada geese. It differs from other southern Illinois refuges in having less agricultural land for food production (paine Refuge fields are sharecropped by area farmers, resulting in an excessive amounts of one cr0p planted in some years. Because of a large wintering goose population and relatively small area of cropland, the Refuge may contribute little to meeting energy needs of geese. Thus, privately owned agricultural fields may be important to meeting goose energy requirements. These issues suggested the need to study resource availability and use in the Rend Lake area.
