140. Mooij, J. H. 1982. The "Niederrhein" (Lower Rhine) area (North Rhine Westphalia, Federal Republic of Germany), a goose wintering area of increasing importance in the Dutch-German border region. Aquila 89:235-297.

This article discusses international problems at the Dutch-German border, one of which is the difference in hunting regulations between the governments. The result of the ban on hunting in North Rhine Westphalia is that geese wintering in the border region, though still roosting in the Netherlands, feed more on German territory. This leads to actions like those of Dutch hunters, who scare geese feeding in the German border region over the frontier, where their hunting colleagues, warned by walkie-talkie, try to shoot them.
