Welcome to www.geese.org – the online international portal to submit your records of marked geese and swans. The purpose of this page is to immediately provide observers of colour-marked geese and swans with information about the birds they observed. After registering as a user, you can report the birds you have seen – marked with either colour-ring(s) or neckbands - and view the complete life histories of these birds. Please check the species' pages under How to report to see which projects participate in geese.org, what kind of leg-rings or neckbands have been used, and how sightings should be entered.

UPDATE: Geese.org will move to submit.cr-birding.org 9 DECEMBER 2024!
Important news: on the 9th of December 2024 geese.org will be set to read only around 15:00. After this moment you will no longer be able to enter observations on geese.org. You will still be able to see the data for a period.
On the 10th of December 2024 the new https://submit.cr-birding.org/ website will go live in which the geese.org database will be included. From that moment onwards you will be able to enter observations of colour-marked geese there.
Regarding the use of the Birdring-app, nothing will change; From 9 December onwards, your observations will be forwarded to the new database. Observers that use the geese.org website to enter observations have already received instructions how to use the submit.cr-birding.org website. If you do not have an account on submit.cr-birding.org yet, a new account will be created for you with your current geese.org credentials. If you already have an account at submit, you will see your geese.org observations there once the merge is complete.
www.geese.org and submnit.cr-birding.org are initiatives of Wageningen Environmental Research, Dutch Centre for Avian Migration & Demography, Sovon Dutch Centre for Field Ornithology and Dirk Raes, in close collaboration with the Goose Specialist Group.
