'Among the world's waterfowl - the ducks, geese and swans - there are several species which have become so greatly reduced in numbers that they face early extinction unless steps are taken at once to avert it. Much more needs to be discovered about the birds themselves before we know where, when and how best to take those steps. The beautiful little Ross's geese, whose nesting colonies were found for the first time in 1938, are among those which are threatened, for their world population is probably no more than 5,000, possibly much less. It was for this specific reason that the Perry River Expedition of 1949 was undertaken.' Forward, June 1951, Peter Scott A book by ornithologist and conservationist Peter Markham Scott, documenting the Perry River Expedition of 1949. Perry River is a waterway in the Kitikmeot Region, Nunavut, Canada. It empties into Chester Bay on the southern Queen Maud Gulf.
