This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Ducks and Duck Foods of the Bear River Marshes, Utah It has been said in the foregoing that the supplies Of Seeds car ried over winter in the fruiting heads of the bayonet grass, or tule, are of importance as food fer the Wild ducks returning from the South in spring. AS these seeds are available practically through out the year they furnish a valuable source of sustenance. The burning of large areas, therefore to clear the marsh or to induce a fresh clean growth for ranging purposes is to be frowned upon, as it tends to destroy a certain proportion of the available stock of duck food. Many of the seeds are charred and destroyed by the flames, and though apart are not seriously harmed a largepropor tion of the'stockis. Liable to be washed away. And lost during the high water _incident to the breaking up of the winter covering of Ice In spring, and the subsequent floods due to melting snows in the foothills. While the practice of burning clears the marsh, it also destroys mats and tangles of dead vegetation that in many cases form necessary Shelters for the breeding ducks, insuring the successful hiding of their nests and later protecting the young until they are strong enough to venture into the Open.

Book excerpt: Mallard Ducks, The Mallard Duck Guide Book, Caring For Your Mallards, Habitat, Diet, As A Pet, Mating, Eggs, and much more.Mallard ducks are quirky, fascinating creatures. Known throughout the animal kingdom for being sticklers for routine and schedules, Mallard ducks are surprisingly ill-suited for house training. There is historical evidence that reveals interaction between humans and Mallard ducks for a few hundred years at least, and yet they can be highly suspicious of their owners. Known to be aloof and detached, Mallard ducks may one day become dissatisfied with the settings you provide and choose to simply fly away. Such is the nature of these proud birds. Given the right setting, however, these semi-aquatic birds can become a calm addition to your househ

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Ducks: A History of American Ducks, Nesting, Roosting, Feeding, and Playing Grounds; Habits Throughout the Year There is only one United States. With it no country can compare. A land of enlightenment, energy and industry whose wealth, profusely scattered through its length, breadth and depth, affords investment and employment to the world at large. Peculiarly adapted is its wide range and diversity of climate, an attribute endowed by nature. Visit the "Sunny South," home of the orange and magnolia, a land of birds and flowers, an ideal resting place for our migratory birds. Travel north and we pass an imaginary frost line, between 30 and 35, parallel, the line of demarcation during the winter solstice of our various migratory birds; thus northward, over the lake regions, until we arrive at the Canadian border, where, situated on the confines of North Dakota, stands Fort Pembina, opposite to St. Vincent, the coldest signal service station in the United States. During the year of 1860, the thermometer dropped to 60 below zero, and in the winter of 1892 the writer saw it 54 below at Hallock, a town upon the Great Northern Railway, eighteen miles south of the line, ten miles distant from the Great Red River of the North (which divides Minnesota from North Dakota), exposed to "all the airts that blow," whereas St. Vincent is to some extent protected by the river bluffs which fringe it on the Minnesota side.

Download or read book Propagation of Wild Duck Foods Classic Reprint written by Waldo Lee Mcatee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Propagation of Wild-Duck Foods Wild rice (zizania palustris and Z. Aquatics) in every stage of its growth is eaten by one or another of the North American ducks and geese, and practically all of them feed on its r1pened grain. It is the staple fall food of many ducks in the numerous rice marshes of eastern United States. The seeds are obtained mainly from the bottom in Shallow water, where they have fallen into a bed of soft muck to await germination. Germination is, often SO delayed that grain may sprout at any time up to at least 18 months after ripening. This accounts for the fact that young shoots and germinating seeds of wild rice are found in ducks' stomachs at practically all seasons. The shoots are devoured by many species, the flowers have been found in the wood duckzs stomach, and the stems and leaves of the mature plants are eaten by geese. Wild rice constituted more than 17 per cent of the food of 209 mallards examined, 12 per Cent of that of 51 black ducks, and over -11 per cent of that of 75 wood ducks. Other species known to feed upon the plant are the Canada goose, snow goose, pintail, widgeon, lesser and greater scaups or bluebills, canvas-back, redhead, green-winged and blue-winged teals.
