Synopsis

The book presents field inventories and regional trends in duck, goose, and shorebird populations across North America, offering a snapshot of waterfowl status in the late 1930s and 1940.

It covers multiple flyways, international cooperation, and the methods used to monitor migratory waterfowl. This edition documents how observers and field teams tracked population changes, weather effects, and habitat developments. It highlights the January 1940 inventory, regional analyses, and the role of agencies and volunteers in building a comprehensive picture of waterfowl abundance and distribution during that period.

  • Regional and species trends across key flyways, with attention to the mallard, pintail, and other common game birds.
  • How field inventories were organized, including coordination with federal agencies, state bodies, and volunteers.
  • Insights into environmental factors, such as weather and habitat changes, that affected populations and migrations.
  • Investigations into rumors of starvation and the real causes behind observed declines.
Ideal for readers of wildlife management history and late-1930s to early-1940s conservation efforts, this work provides context for how population monitoring shaped policy and practice.
