Short abstract from the book:
The Canada goose is an introduced species to Denmark with an estimated population of 25–50 pairs. During winter 10,000–20,000 are observed in Denmark. The Danish population seems to be resident, with no Danish birds recovered more than 20 km from the ringing site. In Denmark, birds from Sweden, Norway, Germany and the Netherlands have been recovered in the breeding season, indicating some exchange with these populations. Outside the breeding season, Denmark is visited by Canada geese from Norway, Sweden and Finland. Norwegian birds are most common in Jutland, whereas Swedish and Finnish birds mostly visit the east of the country.
