The Things You Can Do To 
maintain more ducks and fish in your favorite 
waters, deal largely with providing FOOD. 
SHELTER AND PROTECTION. Food, shelter and 
protection are closely connected with the matter 
of maintaining suitable PLANT life. Animal life 
is indeed dependent on plant life! 
FOOD is Most Important 
Plant products, seeds, tubers, roots, etc. make 
up the bulk of a duck's menu and part of what 
a fish eats. Other things that they eat, such as 
insects, snails, crayfish, daphnia and other small 
forms of animal life are all dependent for their 
existence on plants. As an example. Wild Celery 
roots are not only eagerly eaten by the Can- 
vasbacks. Blue-bill and Redhead ducks, but the 
plants also support great numbers of snails that 
fish as well as ducks love. 
SHELTER Needed Too! 
Ducks, especially the marsh-loving kinds such 
as Mallard, Pintail and Teal stop and stay 
where they can find hiding places and protec¬ 
tion from wind and cold, among the thick marsh 
grasses. The grasses that afford fine food in 
addition to shelter, as does the Giant Wild Rice 
are doubly attractive to ducks. Young fish find 
excellent shelter and places of escape from 
their enemies, as well as food among the beds 
of water plants like Wild Celery, Sago Pond 
Plant, Coontail, or Water Lilies. A baby fish is 
saf§ from heron, kingfisher or gull beneath the 
big floating pads of the Water Lilies. 
PLANT This Spring 
Some of the best food and cover producing 
plants for ducks and fish are described on the

you want more ducks and plenty of big fish!
