| The U.S. Fish &
Wildlife Service recently released a preliminary fall flight index survey
of 90 million ducks. Data gathered from extensive air and ground survey's
is critical to the management and conservation of Assateague waterfowl
populations. Throughout the years wetland habitats have diminished and
with these limited resources, a tremendous value has been placed on protected
areas such as Assateague Island. The majority of Atlantic Flyway southbound
waterfowl are attracted to Assateague due to the sheer size of the surrounding
area and the generally good habitat conditions. Historically, this region
has provided a perfect blend of weather, food, and shelter - just what
migrating waterfowl and other birds look for. |
