Resident Canada Geese in NY and NYC State of New York 250,000 State’s population goal 85,000 Metropolitan New York region 25,000

Working with Landowners NYC Wildlife Hazard Management Steering Committee. –Port Authority –Wildlife Services –NYC Mayor’s Office –DEC –USFWS –Dept of Correction –NYC Parks and Recreation –Town of Hempstead –National Park Service

Determine Action Options Hazing Egg and Nest Destruction Population Reduction

Goose Movement Study JFK Airport

The NYC Canada Goose Removal Objective: To reduce the resident Canada Geese population at City-owned public parks, ball fields, and other man-made and natural habitats within 5 miles of airports in metropolitan New York City.

Methods 47 proposed removal sites 17 removal sites selected Removals took place mid June – mid July 2009

LaGuardia Airport JFK Airport

Methods for Removal Geese removed during the molt using capture pens Captured geese were placed alive in commercial turkey crates Euthanized

Results 7 days work WS removed 1,235 of the 1,513 Canada geese observed at the 17 selected sites 5-6 % of resident population

Recommendations 1.Work with neighboring landowners 2.Expand Canada goose removals 3.Utilize additional capture techniques

Summary Off-Airport Wildlife Hazards are a significant threat to aviation safety Airports need to work with landowners and wildlife managers to develop a suitable program to eliminate or reduce these Hazards when and where they occur All wildlife programs need to be evaluated periodically and adjustments made as needed
