VPR’s Jane Lindholm goes on a field trip to Addison to learn more about the migratory snow geese that have become so familiar there over the years. In the 1990s as many as 50,000 of these arctic migrants would come down in the fields around the Dead Creek Wildlife Management Area each fall. But these days there are far fewer geese taking a break in Vermont.

She talks with Bird Diva Bridget Butler about why the dwindling numbers don’t mean the birds are in trouble. In fact, there’s an overabundance of snow geese that wildlife officials have been struggling to manage in recent years.
