Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the relationship between crows and waterfowl during nesting seasons. The author spent the summers of 1934 and 1935 observing these species in their natural habitat, with a specific focus on duck nests near Waterhen Lake, Saskatchewan. Of the 512 nests observed over the two summers, only 250 successfully hatched, with crows being responsible for destroying 156 of the nests. Various other animals and environmental factors contributed to the destruction of most of the other nests. Crows typically steal eggs during the egg-laying or incubation period, and the author also observed that hatching success increased noticeably towards the end of the nesting season, when crows were less likely to target duck eggs. The author's observations suggest that the impact of crows on waterfowl populations may be influenced not only by the abundance of crows but also by their feeding habits and the timing of the nesting season, providing valuable insights into the complex dynamics of predator-prey relationships in the wild. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
