Geese - Relatively few Central Flyway geese have ever been 
found in Mexican wintering areas. On this basis, it seems 
likely that the data recorded in the Central Flyway States 
are reasonably comparable. The 1957 population index for 
geese is 26 percent below the average of the past eight 
years and compared to individual years is: 
17 percent below 1956 
18 percent below 1955 
41 percent below 1954 
17 percent below 1953 
3 percent above 1952 
16 percent below IJ95I 
47 percent below 1950 
Among the geese, all species declined with the most 
noticeable drop taking place among the snows.
