Summary 
l. Production of ducks and geese in the eastern Oregon marsh 
areas was down on most species. 
2. Geese nested on normal dates but duck nesting was retarded 
three weeks due to a late spring. 
3. Many potholes and marsh areas are drying up due to a lack of 
winter snow fall and summer precipitation. 
4. A total of 4,428 ducks, 53 geese and 59 coots was banded 
during the pre-season period.
