Field-based study of the canvasback duck (Aythya valisineria) based on long-term observation at the Delta Marsh in Manitoba, examining breeding behavior, courtship, nesting, migration, population dynamics, and habitat use. Produced in cooperation with the Wildlife Management Institute and Ducks Unlimited, the book documents mid-twentieth-century research central to the development of modern waterfowl management and conservation practice in North America. The second edition incorporates supplementary notes, a new preface by Ira N. Gabrielson, and an expanded bibliography. Appendix IV, Addenda to 1959 Edition, was added to present updated findings and observations that emerged after publication of the first edition, allowing the author to bring the research up to date without revising the original chapter text. Issued as a Wildlife Management Institute publication. Contents include: The delta marsh; Spring flight; Courtship; The nesting season; Nesting of other species; The brood season; The postbreeding season; Autumn and the shooting season; A discussion for management; Epilogue.
