Michael Schwitters has been working since 1995 on goose movement research, most recently volunteering in the Rainwater Basin Wetland Management District's 4-year Snow Goose in Nebraska. During his years of collecting goose neck collar data, he has recorded more than 43,000 collar observations, covering 15 states and 4 Canadian provinces and most species of Arctic nesting geese. His reports document weather and other conditions and include clear graphs, histographs, and maps of significant findings. His thoroughness has been vital to the success of Rainwater Basin WMD research.
