During the 1984 goose survey a total of 1,239,400 geese were observed in Texas. The 1984-85 Midwinter Waterfowl Survey indicated 3,076,100 waterfowl wintering in Texas. In comparison to the 1983-84 survey mallards were down 3 percent, pintails down 4 percent, green-winged teal up 25 percent and mottled ducks down 37 percent. All duck species combined were down 12 percent over the numbers recorded in 1983-84. The 1985 spring white-fronted goose survey provided a population index of 154,000 white-fronts of which 133,000 (86%) were in Nebraska, 7,500 (5%) in both South Dakota and Kansas, 3,800 (2%) in Texas and 2,000 (1%) in Louisiana. The estimate from the Texas waterfowl harvest survey indicated a kill of 778,606 waterfowl (including 652,486 ducks and 119,561 geese) for the 1984-85 season. This indicates as 27% increase in the total waterfowl harvest, a 26% increase in the duck harvest and a 23% increase in the goose harvest from 1983-84. A sample of 2,816 indicator duck gizzards were examined for presence of spent shotshell pellets. Lead pellets were found in approximately 11%. Steel pellets were found in 6.7%. Current levels of activity by sportsmen (including airboat operation had little effect on waterfowl abundance but did influence distribution. Airboats temporarily moved waterfowl from one area to another, but weather influenced waterfowl abundance more than any other factor evaluated. A third annual waterfowl hunter attitude questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of individuals who had purchased a 1983-84 Texas Waterfowl Stamp. Analysis of the responses currently is pending. Recommendations for waterfowl hunting regulations were developed based upon available data from waterfowl resource surveys.

Waterfowl in Winter was first published in 1988. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions. The emphasis in research on waterfowl has traditionally focused on breeding as opposed to migrant or wintering birds. Scientists have long been interested in courtship, nest sites, laying, and brood-rearing, and they have also been concerned about losses of eggs, young, nesting hens, and breeding habitats, especially as they have affected the goal of increasing populations. But lately there has been an upsurge of interest and research on the migratory and wintering phases, and this volume offers ample evidence of the knowledge gained. The authors—105 waterfowl biologists—have contributed 47 chapters that range geographically from Alaska to northern South America, and from the Pacific Northwest to Nova Scotia and Florida. Their subjects include: distributional changes due to human influence; population trends and concerns over less common species; pairing and other behavior that occurs in the wintering areas and is vital to the success of the species; feeding ecology and body condition during winter; new habitats created by such activities as aquaculture and park development; losses of habitat due to development and drainage for alternate uses; lead poisoning and pollutants that are detrimental to waterfowl; habitat management for maintenance of successful populations now and in the future. Also presented are reports of workshop discussions outlining current issues and future research needs. Preparation of this volume was assisted by an editorial board comprising Bruce J. J. Batt, Robert H. Chabreck, Leigh H. Fredrickson, and Dennis G. Raveling.

Ducks, Geese, and Swans of North America has been hailed as a classic since the first edition was published in 1942. A must-have for professional biologists, birders, waterfowl hunters, decoy collectors, and wildlife managers, this fully revised and updated edition provides definitive information on the continent's forty-six species. Maps of both winter and breeding ranges are presented with images by top waterfowl photographers and the acclaimed original artwork of Robert W. (Bob) Hines. Originally authored by F. H. Kortright and later revised by Frank Bellrose, this latest edition, which has been meticulously updated by renowned waterfowl biologist Guy Baldassarre, continues the legacy of esteemed authors. Each species account contains in-depth sections on: - identification - distribution - migration behavior - habitat - population status - breeding biology - rearing of young - recruitment and survival - food habits and feeding ecology - molts and plumages - conservation and management To facilitate identification, the species accounts also include detailed illustrations of wings. An appendix contains comparative illustrations of ducklings, goslings, and cygnets. Guy Baldassarre has hit the target. His remake of the Kortright/Bellrose classic provides good biological descriptions, wonderful photographs and illustrations, and easy-to-understand information about waterfowl. I would encourage every hunter and enthusiast to have these books as an educational guide to waterfowl and their needs.--H. Dale Hall, CEO, Ducks Unlimited, Inc. When, as an eleven-year-old in 1942, I read F. H. Kortright's first edition of this book, it altered the trajectory of my life. Every subsequent edition, including this latest update by Guy Baldassarre, has improved the landmark reference. I can't imagine that anyone interested in waterfowl or wetlands can live without this indispensable book.--Paul A. Johnsgard, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Creating a brand-new version of such a timeless and previously revised classic is a risky venture indeed, but nobody could be better suited for this monumental task than Guy Baldassarre. He has created a stunning new classic, at once magnificent in its visual appeal and truly comprehensive in its scientific breadth and depth. Hats off to Guy for dedicating himself to this project with such obvious passion, patience, and skill. This book absolutely belongs on the shelf or coffee table of anyone who has ever marveled at waterfowl, whether through their binoculars or from inside the duck blind.--John W. Fitzpatrick, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology Guy Baldassarre was a professor of wildlife ecology at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry in Syracuse until his death in 2012. He is the coauthor of the textbook, Waterfowl Ecology and Management.

This report provides a detailed snapshot of our nation's passion for wildlife and nature. It serves as a road map to guide efforts to reach more Americans to provide them with opportunities to hunt, fish, and enjoy America's wildlife and wild places. Bird/wildlife watching, hunting, fishing are not just favorite pastimes, but they share revenues from sale of licenses and tags, as well as excise taxes paid by hunters, anglers, and shooters to continue to support vital wildlife and habitat conservation efforts in every state. The report outlines the details for compilation of information and surveys to different populations and provides highlights along with statistical information represented in tables from the data collected.
