By installing these elevated nest structures in the key breeding areas, Delta Waterfowl can increase nest success up to 80 percent in areas where the success rate is frequently less than 10 percent. As a result, our current number of cost-effective elevated nest structures installed in the PPR help produce more than 45,000 ducklings annually. deltawaterfowl.org/hen-houses/

    Hey delta, are these being used in areas with snakes and raccoons? My grandfather used to build birdhouses back in the day. He had a problem with predators climbing the pole to get at the eggs or baby birds. By putting a large inverted (upside down) bowl halfway up the pole, he was able to prevent many of the predators from climbing. It’s fairly low cost as it can be done with sheet tin or even plastic. I think it’s now called a “conical predator guard.”

    Delta Waterfowl's science-based MDC recognizes the importance of enhancing the nesting success and brood survival rates that are directly linked to utilizing hen houses and mesopredator management where appropriate and practical. The Oregon Trappers Association applauds these science-based efforts to bolster the North American Continents waterfowl population by the Duck Hunter's Organization.

    Bravo Dr. Rohwer! Glad we have you to advocate for waterfowl in the efforts of increasing nesting productivity. Dr. Rohwer, if you may happen to read this, I am installing Wood Duck boxes in a few creeks in Southern Delaware / Maryland . Is it worthwhile installing Hen Houses as well or is it a waste of time and money for my flyway. My goal is to install 10 this off season and if the Hen Houses work for nesting in my region, I will install 10 of those as well. Thanks for your time.🦆

  • @StanPeade
    @StanPeade 4 месяца назад

    Really interesting video, but different than I expected. I thought it would compare goose calls to swan calls. (That was my search.) So in that regard, it wasn't what I was looking for. Instead, though, I got a very interesting anatomy demonstration, showing why they sound very different from one another. Recommendation: Add a trigger warning for people who might be repulsed by animal dissection. It doesn't bother me, but it reminded me of when a few students had to be dismissed from 10th-grade biology because they became sick just from the idea of directing frogs and piglets. DISSECTION is informative and interesting for a curious mind, and is relevant to bird calls, but potentially not as appreciated by the "faint of heart."
