A statistical index to the preferred duck foods in the various 

 regions of the United States and Canada is presented on the basis of 

 an analysis of nearly 8,000 stomachs or gullets of 18 species of game 

 ducks. The study also contains illustrations of the principal food 

 items and gives practical suggestions for waterfowl food management.

Anderson, W. 1960. A study of waterfowl nesting in the Suisun marshes. 

 California Fish and Game 46:217-226. 



The Suisun Marshes, an area comprising approximately 140 square 

 miles in Solano County, California, was the site of a duck nesting 

 study conducted from late April to July 1, 1959. The objectives 

 of this study were to evaluate production as compared with that of 

 1953, and to determine factors which would limit nesting. 



The results of this study confirmed earlier beliefs regarding 

 the limitations of the Suisun Marsh as a waterfowl breeding area. 

 No specific factor could be singled out as a sufficiently important 

 reason why this area should not support a far larger nesting popula- 

 tion than it does. (L.H.)
