Above is a new delta waterfowl initiative to put another 1 million ducks in the flyway.
A few things I took from the video. Ducks need 15-20% nesting success rates to maintain their population. Through deltas studies they are only finding up to 5% success rates.
Thats kind of a big concern of mine. I think it kinda confirms alot of hunters suspicions that we just don't have the duck numbers that we use to.
Secondly, it seems like we live in a world that thinks we can just throw money at something and it will fix the problem. Yes I know predator management and nesting sites will greatly increase nesting success. But I would still argue there are many more factors that need to be addressed.
What are your thoughts?
