Mid-Winter Waterfowl Inventory in Idaho

Idaho conducts its annual mid-winter waterfowl inventory as the hunting season ends December 27. Conserva tion officers tally on the ground and by air across major concentration points including Lake Lowell, American Falls Reservoir, Mud Lake, Minidoka, C J Strike Reservoir, and Bonner county. The effort averages about 445000 birds since 1945, with a 10 percent margin of error, and relies on coordinated weekly counts from 11 outlet points to provide trend data for management.
