Forbes Biological Station
Forbes Biological Station, part of the Illinois Natural History Survey, focuses on research related to waterfowl populations, particularly Canada geese, in the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area. The station conducts various studies to evaluate ecological impacts, migration patterns, and human-wildlife interactions, contributing valuable data to conservation efforts.
With ongoing projects that include leg-banding and tracking geese movements using advanced technology, Forbes Biological Station aims to better understand the shifting winter distributions of Canada geese and their effects on urban environments. Their work is essential for managing the growing populations of these birds and mitigating conflicts, especially near critical areas like Midway International Airport.
