And now, on to the Breeding Ground Report.
Good news for the Mississippi Flyway Canada goose hunters. This year’s survey of the Mississippi Valley Population (MVP) of Canada geese shows a dramatic rise. In fact, the survey shows breeding populations at their highest levels since 1999. This year’s breeding population count stands at 384,353 as compared to 344,907 for 2005.
News from the waterfowl breeding grounds is mixed, but overall appears positive. Wetland conditions in some key portions of the Dakotas have suffered from an extended dry spell, but many portions of the ‘Canadian Duck Factory’ are reporting good to excellent habitat conditions.
In other portions of the US, habitat conditions have been good to very good throughout much of the Great Lakes region and portions of the Upper Mississippi River Valley.
By the forth of July holiday the first surveys should become available, providing a more detailed look at habitat conditions and breeding bird counts in various states and provinces. Until then, keep your fingers crossed, but so far it’s looking good for the 2006-2007 season.
