Ducks Unlimited report on 1970 nesting season progress
The 17L waterfowl nesting season starts well with warm weather accelerating nesting. Wallard and pintail nests show full clutches and early incubation. First broods expected by late May. Conditions vary by region with excellent breeding in central and eastern Alberta, fair in parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and slower nesting in coastal BC. Water conditions improve in interior areas, while dry slough bottoms absorb runoff. Breeding projections suggest an early hatch if trends persist.
