  • 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.

  • 2019 Waterfowl Population Status Survey
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Waterfowl Population Status, 2019 Waterfowl Population Status, 2019 August 19, 2019 In the United States the process of establishing hunting regulations for waterfowl is conducted annually. This process involves a number of scheduled meetings in which information regarding the status of waterfowl is presented to individuals within the agencies responsible for setting hunting regulations. In addition, the proposed regulations are published in the Federal Register to allow public comment. This report includes the most current breeding population and production information available for waterfowl in North America and is a result of cooperative eforts by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS), various state and provincial conservation agencies, and private conservation organizations. In addition to providing current information on the status of populations, this report is intended to aid the development of waterfowl harvest regulations in the United States for the 2020–2021 hunting season. i Acknowledgments Waterfowl Population and Habitat Information: The information contained in this report is the result of the eforts of numerous individuals and organizations. Principal contributors include the Canadian Wildlife Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, state wildlife conservation agencies, provincial conservation agencies from Canada, and Direcci´on General de Conservaci´on Ecol´ogica de los Recursos Naturales, Mexico. In addition, several conservation organizations, other state and federal agencies, universities, and private individuals provided information or cooperated in survey activities. Appendix A.1 provides a list of individuals responsible for the collection and compilation of data for the “Status of Ducks” section of this report.

  • 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. Season Dates Season Dates Year East of I-95 West of I-95 2020 Sept. 17 – 30 Sept. 21 - 30 2019 Sept. 17 – 30 Sept. 21 - 30 2018 Sept. 17 – 30 Sept. 21 - 30 2017 Sept. 16 – 30 Sept. 21 - 30 2016 Sept. 17 – 30 Sept. 21 - 30 2015 Sept. 17 – 30 Sept. 21 - 30 2014 Sept. 17 – 30 Sept. 22 - 30 2013 Sept. 16 – 30 Sept. 23 - 30 2012 Sept. 17 – 29 Sept.

Design by Tim Peterson, Creative Services Branch Chief, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Cover Photo: Wood Duck, TPWD © 2005 TPWD PWD BK W7000-1045 (7/05) SAVED FROM THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION In the early 1900s, wood ducks were on the verge of extinction due to habitat loss from over-harvesting of timber, drainage of swamps and marshes, and excessive exploitation by man for its meat and feathers. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918, which was enacted for the protection and well being of all FIGURE 1 Wood Duck migratory birds, gave protection to Aix sponsa woods duck by closing the season until 1941. Since that time this beautiful bird has remained the subject of substantial attention by waterfowlers, birders, aviculturists and biologists.
