Waterfowl Conditions Are Worse Across Prairie Parklands
Ducks Unlimited Canada reports good water in much of Saskatchewan and Alberta parklands yet breeding conditions are much worse in the southern prairies. Nesting shifted toward parklands while some ducks try to nest in isolated prairie pockets unlikely to endure summer. The dry belt spans southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba with irrigation districts maintaining some moisture. Early warm March sped migrations and pintail and mallard broods are expected within a week.
