Waterfowl Spring Migration Surveys
Ducks Unlimited has been coordinating surveys over the past four years to determine the abundance of waterfowl and the types of water bodies they use in Eastern Washington. They have been working closely with USFW and WDFW with the assistance of Spokane Audubon Society. In addition to Reardan Audubon Lake, the area surveyed included Sprague Lake and Turnbull National Wildlife Refuge and surrounding wetlands in Lincoln and Spokane Counties. The results of these surveys may assist in procuring grants to help protect these vital areas. The program will be presented by Victoria Kaufman. Ms. Kaufman is a consultant for Ducks Unlimited and WDFW. She is a bird biologist with a B.S. in fish and wildlife and a Masters in Biology. She lives in Spokane and is a career ornithologist.
Prior to the meeting we will be having our annual Auction with people donating whatever is appropriate for the items available. Please feel free to bring holiday cookies to share with others.
