Summary 
Both aerial and ground waterfowl surveys, comparable with those made in 
previous years, have been carried out in British Columbia again this year. 
Weather and water conditions were once again favourable to waterfowl 
production. 
Although a slight decrease in the breeding population was recorded this 
spring, midsummer counts showed an over-all increase of at least 15 percent in 
the number of waterfowl on the sample areas in the Province.
