Evaluation of artificial islands and observations of waterfowl on Ducks Unlimited projects in the Tilley Area.. JF Giroux

By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: AB : 1976Online resources: Abstract: Since 1968, Ducks Unlimited, in the Brooks area, began to construct artificial islands for waterfowl nesting. It has long been known, that nesting islands have greater productivity than mainland habitat, mainly due to higher nest densities and a higher nesting success (Hammond and Mann 1956, Duebbert 1966, Vermeer 1970, Ewaschuk and Boag 1972). A large sample of islands, with different physical characteristics and in various stages of vegetative development, now exist in the Tilley Area.
