Abstract

In March and April 1974, 157 lesser snow geese [Chen caerulescens) died from dieldrin poisoning during northward migration through western Missouri [USA]. Evidence strongly suggested that the mortality in Missouri resulted from delayed effects upon geese exposed to aldrin-treated rice seed on wintering areas in SE Texas.
