Brood Success 
River and Reservoir Survey 
Since species identification was not possible on enough broods to be significant, 
all broods seen along the aerial transects were grouped.

The transects were reflown later to determine water conditions and the 
distribution of the broods. The recounts show a decline in the average per brood, 
and as the broods became concentrated only those groups that appeared as broods were 
counted. The number of broods per square mile was 5.26 with an average brood size 
of 5.72.
