Duck Refugees
in Marsh Areas

heen made permanent refugees under
the guardianship of the Department OF
and many private pre-
serves, some formed by artificial
means, have been established where
the birds are protected while nesting.
In addition, In a number OF cases.
rigid local restrictions have been
placed upon hunters.
Investigating the Ducks.
AS a means of cooperating in such
efforts to maintain and increase the
number of waterfowl, the biological
survey Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture has undertaken
investigations Of the general c0nditions
under which wild ducks live and
thrive, coupled with counts OF the
birds found in areas varying In cnar-
acter. During three summers, neio
studies were made dealing with wild
ducks In the Bear river marshes In
Utah. a report Of which has just been
published by the department in De-
partment Bulletin 936. Wild Ducks ana
Duck Foods of the Bear River Marshes,
Utah.
During the three seasons devoted to
thfs work II species Of ducks and the
Canada goose were found breeding IN
the region included in the Bear river
marshes, which cover an extensive
area at the northern end OF Great
Salt Lake. In an enumeration made
during May and June, 1916. OF the IL
species of breeding ducks 1850 pairs
were counted, and it is believed that
this number represents between 6o ana
| 100 per cent of the total number OF
breeding ducks occurring here that
season.
Vast Number In One Region.
Allowing five young reared to ma
turity as the average for each pair
| and considering 1916 as an average
| season, the bulletin states that. at q
| conservative estimate, between 2o,Ot
and 10000 wild ducks, native to the
marsh. are to be found there at tne
| close Of the breeding season.
II was found that, in addition Il
tho large number Of birds reared OF
the Bear river area, many other ducK'
came in after the nesting season to re
main there until fall. That birds iron
| the Bear river section range widei!
| after leaving these marshes has oeel
shown by records Of ducks that hav
heen handed and released there an
subsequently were. shot elsewhere: Rec
ords thus obtained show that birds RI
leased near the mouth of Bear rave
in migration cover the region froi
oklahoma to Texas and west to ga
