Delta's Cam Meuckon

In early May when the breeding season is in full swing, waterfowl biologists from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) and the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) head afield to estimate breeding populations for ducks and geese.  These surveys are done annually and are used to monitor population status and determine annual hunting regulations across North America.
