Crows Threaten Wild Ducks in Canadian Breeding Grounds
A survey by E.R. Kalmbach of the United States Biological Survey finds crows ravage 31 percent of 512 duck nests surveyed in a high crow concentration area in Canada. Overall nest loss reaches 49 percent when including other causes. Kalmbach advises targeted, supervised crow-control on breeding grounds, noting winter roosts are less costly but less effective for protecting nesting ducks.

The material hints at seeds and lower plants not forming true seeds, challenging long held views of early terrestrial life.
