Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Ducks: A History of American Ducks, Nesting, Roosting, Feeding, and Playing Grounds; Habits Throughout the Year
The fly-ways up and down our great rivers and their tributaries, connecting with our chains Of inland lakes, enable our waterfowl to spread over the entire country; extending shooting privileges unsurpassed by those of other nations. It proves the greatest boon ducks could have, for it alone restricts the annual spring and fall migration to this continent, instead of passing to other countries, as in Europe, according to the habits and peculiarities of the various species. It affords them a range of breeding grounds in every state in the Union, sparingly in the south to the frost line, but rapidly increasing after they pass the 42° parallel and nature admonishes them to increase, multiply and replenish the earth.
