Harvest distribution and survival of a gadwall population

Anas strepera were banded in N-central Colorado. Bands were recovered primarily near the area of banding and in central and coastal Texas, N Utah, along the E and W coast of Mexico, and in the Interior Highlands of Mexico. Mean survival rates were 75.24±5.34% and 69.03±6.51% for adult males and females, respectively. The annual return of adults to the banding area reflected a fidelity to local wetlands for breeding and to nearby reservoirs for molting. -from Authors
