State wildlife workers and volunteers this week are capturing and banding "urban geese" who've settled in ponds, parks and golf courses along the Wasatch Front. The birds will be relocated to other parts of the state more suited to geese habitat. Younger geese will be taken to places where they can learn migration patterns and behavior from older, wild geese. Adult geese will go to Clear Lake (near Delta) and other locations in southern Utah.
