observed feeding upon water oak acorns both at the water's edge and as far as 5 

 m above the shoreline of the wooded coves at 1-3. Within the coves of 1-3, water 

 oaks yielded significantly (p < 0.05) more acorns (>28.0 g/m 2 ) than at 1-1 or 1-2 

 and attracted large numbers of wood ducks on a regular basis. 



Acorn yields adjacent to the impoundments were similar to those in 

 Missouri, where the upper range of acorn production in an upland forest varied 

 from 4.0 to 25.5 g/m 2 during a 2-year period (Dalke 1953). Elsewhere in Mis-
