Middletown, New York - New York State Department of Environmental Conservation habitat biologist JONATHAN RUSSELL hands a Canada goose gosling to DEC wildlife technician SARAH TRAVALIO at Fancher-Davidge Park on June 23, 2014. The DEC herded the geese into a pen and then banded the geese that did not already have bands. Geese are banded in late June and early July because they are molting and unable to fly. Banding helps scientists learn about the birds' migration, feeding patterns and other behaviors.
