MARKED WITH DYE
When Sara Miller, 11 of Teller, Alaska, claimed she saw a pink goose last week her father, Albert Miller, relayed the information to the Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit at the University of Alaska.
Dr. John Buckley, head of the unit, didn't greet the report with skepticism. He was glad to hear it. He said that U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service personnel cooperated with the California department of fish and game to provide a means of tracing geese on their northward migration to breeding grounds. They dyed Lesser snow geese pink, later migrating snow geese green, and Ross' geese yellow.
Miss Miller's pink goose was the second one reported in the territory. Dr. Buckley said that he would like to hear about others.
