greatly during the spring and sununer months, reduces the chances of 

 female harlequin ducks nesting on the river. 



Several streams draining into Lake Koocanusa where not surveyed for 

 summer broods due to being without additional time, and also because 

 over the last 10 years I have spent considerable time walking 

 most of the larger drainages doing stream/fish habitat surveys and 

 conducting redd covints for the Forest Service. 



Pete Creek and Burnt Creek on the Three Rivers R.D. were not 

 surveyed for sximmer broods due to low (i.e. 20-30 cfs) stream flow 

 volumes. 



Additional streauns which were not walked, but have good potential 

 to support harlequin production include; 



Lake Creek 

 Keeler Creek

HARLEQUIN OCCURRENCES 



Ten different harlequin ducks (6 males and 4 females) were documented 

 during this field study. All sitings were at Kootenai Falls or 

 on Graves Creek on the Fortine R.D. The three documented pairs were 

 estimated to have potentially started to nest between June 1 & June 15,
