Abstract
We monitored production, abundance, and behavior of waterfowl and other waterbirds at The Emiquon Preserve (hereafter, Emiquon) during 2009 in an effort to assist The Nature Conservancy monitor and evaluate success of their restoration work (Table 1). Additionally, we monitored waterfowl food production and mapped wetland vegetation patterns at the site. Herein, we provide preliminary results of our research for 2009. A final report is forthcoming after sample and data processing is complete.
