Design considerations for breeding waterfowl surveys
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.This study evaluated how different survey designs affect the accuracy and precision of breeding waterfowl population estimates in Iowa's Prairie Pothole Region. Using aerial survey data from 2016–2018, we found that conducting at least 2 visits per season reduced bias in pair estimates, particularly for wood ducks and blue‐winged teal, while mallard ...
