Amundson, Rod

Abstract:

In this WILDLIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA series about wildlife species in the state, Amundson describes puddle ducks, so named because \"they habitually feed in shallow water by dabbling and tipping up their tails with their heads submerged so that only the posterior shows above the water.\" A large number either visit or reside in North Carolina, including the shoveler, gadwall, and baldpate. Amundson discusses the puddle duck's history, characteristics, range and distribution, breeding and food habits, and management.

Abstract:

If the water is clear in a reservoir, the game fish populations are usually high, and offer good fishing. If the water is full of silt, the outcomes are not as good, but farmers and plant workers are working on keeping the water clear for the benefit of all.
