This metadata document describes VHF tracking data for Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons) that were marked annually from 1987 to 1991 in Alaska and the Klamath Basin (Oregon and California) and subsequently tracked through the Pacific Flyway (primarily in Alaska, California, and Mexico). Only tracking data for geese marked or located, at least once, in Alaska are included in this data package. Data for Greater White-fronted Geese tagged at Klamath Basin that were never relocated in Alaska are not included.
