Observations on the Lesser Snow Goose nesting grounds, Egg River, Banks Island / [E.H. McEwen].: CW66-740/1958E-PDF
"Lesser snow geese, Chen hyperborea hyperborea (Pallas) are the commonest of the subfamily Anserinae in the western Arctic, where also are found black brant, Branta nigricans; Canada goose B. canadensis; whitefronted goose Anser albifrons; and Ross's goose Chen rossi. Four local nesting areas of snow geese are distributed along 180 miles of the Arctic coast, on the deltaic islands south of Kendall Island, Cape Dalhousie, and the deltas of the Kugalik and Anderson Rivers. North and west of those, a fifth breeding area is located along the Egg River, Banks Island. Ground observations were made by the author on the Kendall Island nesting area in 1954 and on the Egg River nesting area in 1955"--Page [1].
