Resource Abstract:
- description: The Mexican Mid-winter Waterfowl Survey is a continuation of the annual winter waterfowl survey which is conducted
in the United States and Mexico. Since the survey's inception in 1947, it has been divided into 3 main surveys: the Gulf
Coast, the Interior Highlands, and the Pacific Coast. Since 1985, the surveys have been run every three years, 2006 being
the last. In the off years, a redhead survey is flown in Laguna Madre on the Gulf Coast and a Brant goose survey on the upper
(from Mexicali to Cuyutlan on the West Coast and from Bahia de Magdalena to San Quintin in the Gulfo de California) part of
the Pacific Coast. The Mexican Mid-winter Waterfowl Survey provides wintering habitat conditions, waterfowl habitat utilization,
waterfowl distribution patterns, and general population trends. The data obtained from this survey is used to manage Mexican
duck populations and to study the effects of wetland drainage and development. It is conducted cooperatively by the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service and Mexican officials.; abstract: The Mexican Mid-winter Waterfowl Survey is a continuation of the annual
