Harlequin Duck Special Studies 



Information on harlequin ducks observed during the monitoring period is presented 

 in table 7. Harlequin ducks were observed in November 1981, and May, June, July, and 

 August 1982. An active nest was discovered in a logjam at the head of the falls and 

 observations of at least two young were made (Wolfe 1982). During August 1982, DNRC 

 searches for broods were unsuccessful.
