Abstract

Counts of Wood Ducks made during the spring and summer of 1970 on the creeks and reservoirs of the Salt Creek watershed in southeastern Nebraska yielded a conservative estimate of 40 breeding pairs; 16 broods were counted. Estimates of production are biased by numerous variables, including intrinsic sampling problems.
