Aerial surveys during breeding (spring), brooding (summer), and staging (early fall) periods were conducted on randomly selected wetlands within the same study area.Preliminary results indicate a diverse waterbird assemblage associated with wetlands in the region. Waterfowl communities were dominated by diving ducks, most notably scaup spp. (Aythya spp.), but had good representation of dabblers
