Waterfowl Relative Density Maps
The MDWFP in cooperation with Delta Wildlife conducted
the first 2005-2006 aerial waterfowl survey November
14 – 18 in the Delta. Surveys are being conducted
again this year in accordance with the methodology
developed by Aaron Pearse and Rick Kaminski of
Mississippi State University, and Ken Reinecke
of USGS. Delta Wildlife, who was a partner in
the first three years of this research project
has committed to continued financial support of
the project this year. During these surveys, a
trained observer riding in a fixed-wing aircraft
counts all waterfowl observed on specific transects
in the Mississippi Delta. Numerous transects were
flown throughout the Mississippi Delta, resulting
in the maps you see above. The maps depict areas
of low, medium, and high duck densities within
the Delta. Plans are to conduct these surveys
during the following periods:
2006-2007 Season
2005-2006 Season
