Why Predator Management Boosts Duck Production | Duckology

#deltawaterfowl #ducks #duckology
The distribution and abundance of predators in the Prairie Pothole Region and other key breeding areas have shifted over time, putting breeding ducks at risk. For upland nesters, such as mallards, teal, gadwall, and pintails, predation by raccoons, skunks, and other duck egg eaters often runs rampant on the prairies. This reality, coupled with declining duck nesting habitat, is disastrous for nest success-the primary factor determining whether duck populations rise or fall.
