The objectives of the study were to determine the amount of use of the projects by breeding waterfowl, to estimate brood production and to evaluate the habitat conditions. Four surveys of each project were conducted between 27 April and 17 June to enumerate the number, species,and sex of breeding birds. Three surveys of each project were conducted between 6 July and 12 August to estimate the number of broods present and to speciate and age those broods. Maps were prepared of the upland vegetation surrounding the project and the emergent vegetation on the project basins and adjacent waterbodies. Project water conditions were monitored including recording water levels at the project basins,performing water quality analyses, and locating and classifying peripheral waterbodies.
