Collar-tagged goose lands in Karnataka's Gadag, birders elated

New Indian Express

GADAG: A bar-headed goose with an ID caller in its neck has landed at the Magadi lake of Gadag district. The lush green farm fields and large water body makes Magadi Lake a perfect destination for bar-headed geese migration. In South India, the Magadi tank records the highest congregation of bar-headed geese annually. “In the last few years more than four collared geese with different numbers have been documented in Magadi lake. As the congregation of geese in Magadi talk is large numbers, sometimes identifying the colored birds becomes difficult,” said a forest officer.
