Abstract: I explored anuran and avian use of small, managed (i.e. excavated) and non-managed wetlands on Prince Edward Island. Pairs and broods of green-winged teal and American black ducks were significantly more numerous on managed wetlands than on non-managed wetlands. American black duck brood occurrence was positively correlated with proximity to freshwater rivers and greater cattail cover in managed wetlands.Diversity of wetland obligate bird species was higher on managed wetlands than on non-managed wetlands. Principal components analysis revealed five bird communities. Two of these consisted of non-waterfowl species and were positively associated with vegetative cover.
