In an effort to help reduce the effects of this habitat loss to breeding waterfowl, Ducks Unlimited Canada has installed a number of nest baskets constructed and installed according to the methods stated by Doty et al. (1975). The study area consisted of eleven projects, containing from 4 to 22 nest baskets per project. The projects ranged in size from 32 ha to 194 ha and were located within a range of different agriculture land use and habitat types (Table 1).
