A recent USFWS Trends in Duck Breeding Populations report summarizes information about the status of breeding duck populations and wetland habitat conditions during the spring of 2013.
The information is a result of the cooperative efforts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife and Canadian Wildlife Services’ Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey, which samples of more than two million square miles of waterfowl habitat encompassing the primary breeding areas of North America.
