Summary
Description
During the summer, 1988, we conducted a duck nesting study to determine nest success for ducks at Stillwater Wildlife Management Area WMA. We calculated nest success as the proportion of all nests that were successful, and 2 Bart Nest success for 31 dabbling duck nests was 39. The most common nesting ducks were Cinnamon Teal, Mallard, and Gadwall. Most nests were located at Lead Lake. Comparisons to past studies of nesting success cannot be made without greater sample sizes, and the study should be continued over the nest 23 years.
