Downward trend in continental waterfowl hits 11 year low
The winter waterfowl survey by the Fish and Wildlife Service reports a 14 percent drop in the continental population from last year and notable declines in mallards pintails and black ducks. Scaup and Canada geese show increases while overall upland numbers fall across Flyways Atlantic Pacific and Mexico. Weather and drought are blamed for reduced nesting success and lower bag prospects for the 1962 season.

First Open Sandhill Crane Season Reported in Texas
A. J. Springs of the Texas Game and Fish Commission presented at the Central Flyway Council meeting in Denver that Texas average crane weights were six and a quarter pounds for juveniles and just over seven pounds for adults. About 2,100 hunters pursued cranes with roughly 1,900 birds harvested, as West Texas and New Mexico opened the season to control surplus. No state-operated check stations were used, though spot checks occurred, and depredation complaints declined. A November December statewide crane count across 183 counties found no unusual movements due to the hunt.
