  • Waterfowl in Iowa, Overview
    STATE OF IOWA 1977 WATERFOWL IN IOWA By JACK W MUSGROVE Director DIVISION OF MUSEUM AND ARCHIVES STATE HISTORICAL DEPARTMENT and MARY R MUSGROVE Illustrated by MAYNARD F REECE Printed for STATE CONSERVATION COMMISSION DES MOINES, IOWA Copyright 1943 Copyright 1947 Copyright 1953 Copyright 1961 Copyright 1977 Published by the STATE OF IOWA Des Moines Fifth Edition FOREWORD Since the origin of man the migratory flight of waterfowl has fired his imagination. Undoubtedly the hungry caveman, as he watched wave after wave of ducks and geese pass overhead, felt a thrill, and his dull brain questioned, “Whither and why?” The same age - old attraction each spring and fall turns thousands of faces skyward when flocks of Canada geese fly over. In historic times Iowa was the nesting ground of countless flocks of ducks, geese, and swans. Much of the marshland that was their home has been tiled and has disappeared under the corn planter. However, this state is still the summer home of many species, and restoration of various areas is annually increasing the number. Iowa is more important as a cafeteria for the ducks on their semiannual flights than as a nesting ground, and multitudes of them stop in this state to feed and grow fat on waste grain. The interest in waterfowl may be observed each spring during the blue and snow goose flight along the Missouri River, where thousands of spectators gather to watch the flight. There are many bird study clubs in the state with large memberships, as well as hundreds of unaffiliated ornithologists who spend much of their leisure time observing birds.

  • Waterfowl Fact Sheets
    SEPTEMBER TEAL SEASON FACT SHEET - 2020 • Special teal seasons were initiated in late 1960's to provide harvest opportunities on blue- winged and green-winged teal. When the blue-winged teal breeding population (BPOP) is above 3.3 million, a 9-day season can be offered. If the BPOP exceeds 4.7 million, a 16-day season can be offered. • Blue-winged teal are one of the earliest migrants. Many pass through Virginia from late August through October, prior to the opening of the late duck season. • Green-winged teal are also early migrants and arrive in September and October. However, some Green-wings remain through the winter depending on weather conditions. • Virginia has held a special September teal season since 1999 (see dates listed below). The season was initially held only in the area east of I-95 because there are greater numbers of teal and teal hunters in the coastal plain. Even in the coastal plain, teal are not widespread, and the harvest has been relatively small. The season was expanded in 2011 to provide some teal hunting opportunity in the area west of I-95.

  • Pascagoula Decoy Company Employees Operating the Duplicating Lathe Machines
    Pascagoula Decoy Company employees operating the duplicating lathe machines. A guiding arm traced the master mold, which controlled the shape of the decoy. Note the piles of sawdust. CHAPTER 1 COLLECTING DECOYS The evolution of duck decoys can be traced back to primitive days when American Indians used their resourceful talents to construct wild-duck decoys from a combination of mud, grass or reeds, and feathers. Hoping to get a shot with his wooden bow and arrow, the hunter arranged the fake ducks in different patterns to lure the birds within comfortable shooting range—preferably on the water. Using decoys during a hunt remains popular today. In the late 1890s, the popularity of duck hunting increased dramati- cally with the advent of market hunters, or commercial hunters. Because the duck and goose populations were very strong, the commercial market was profitable, and there was a greater need for decoys. The individual hand-carvers could not keep up with demand, so this need was met by factories using duplicating lathe machines. These machines made it possible to manufacture thousands of wooden duck decoys commercially. Up to twelve birds could be produced at the same time. The heads were drilled and fitted for glass eyes and glued for added strength. The head and body were made separate from one another and attached by a wooden dowel. Some of the heads were mounted in a fixed position while others were adjustable, allowing for different poses such as preening or sleeping.
