“delta waterfowl”

Delta Waterfowl posted a must-see photo to its Facebook page this morning.

Is wind energy bad for waterfowl? It's something we've discussed here before, and a North Dakota study by Ducks Unlimited and the United States Fish & Wildlife Service in North Dakota found that when wind farms are placed on wetlands, breeding pairs of ducks are reduced by an average of 21 percent.

Wind farms produce an increasing amount of the country's power, but how many migratory birds are lost in the effort?

Recent trends indicate that waterfowlers are ditching their duck blinds for deer stands.

We duck hunters are prone to irrational optimism. How else do you explain a group of people who can spend an entire day freezing our butts off in windy, pounding surf for just a duck or two (if we're lucky), only to go home, convince ourselves tomorrow will be better, and do it all over again? All we need is the slightest indication the duck hunting may improve.

Eastern Shore market hunters loved the Chesapeake Bay retriever. The new breed fetched ducks all day and guarded the boat all night—just what these men needed.

It was an oddly warm January day on the Eastern Shore—in fact there were gnats in the air—but after a long, mid-day lull, the geese were back on the move.

The Atlantic Flyway’s most iconic bird has dwindled to less than half its historic population. Will new research turn the tide?

Delta Waterfowl has planted several cameras at waterfowl nests this spring, and the latest video will both wow you and break your heart.
