The 56th edition of the Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey, released today by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service, revealed wetland conditions and duck populations well above their long-term averages.

The headline numbers: The total-duck population across the traditional survey dropped slightly to 40.9 million from last year’s 42 million, mallard numbers were steady at 8.4 million, scaup numbers rose slightly to 4.2 million and the northern pintail population bumped up 9 percent to 3.5 million.

The latest news from Delta Waterfowl
  • Snow Goose Production Up, Strong Fall Flight Expected; Delta Waterfowl to Goose Hunters: 'Get Ready'
    Could a bumper crop of snow geese be in the offing for waterfowl hunters this year? It was a huge production year for snow geese in the arctic Dr. Robert "Rocky" Rockwell, a biology professor at City University of New York and one of North America's leading authorities on snow geese, thinks so. Rockwell says the summer nesting season in the subarctic region of La Perouse Bay in northern Manitoba was "spectacular."
  • Predator Management Update - What We've Learned in 17 Years
    While nesting conditions across the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) are a moving target, the aim of waterfowl management hasn't changed much in 50 years. Scientists have long recognized the critical importance of securing the small wetlands necessary to attract nesting ducks and finding ways to increase hatch rates. Nest success--how many eggs hatch--is the crucial limiting factor influencing duck production, and decades of research have shown nest predation is the reason most eggs never hatch.
  • Q and A: Delta Scientific Director Discusses Plan to 'Shortstop' Migratory Waterfowl from Oil-fouled Wetlands
    In the following Q and A, Dr. Rohwer weighs in on the short-stopping question, whether "hazing" birds from oil-contaminated areas is worth a try, and why he believes a season closure is a bad idea.
