The Search for Moon Goose in Siberia / Novosibirsk - experiment preparations
Moone Geese are a very rare species of migration birds, in particular as they spend quite some time of their amazing lives with migration between the earth and its trabant (rather then "just" flying to the south and back). Consequently finding them in the vast territories of   Sibiria / Novosibirsk wasn't easy at all.
