Second nestings of the wood ducks Second nestings of the wood ducks
This is a description of the renesting of two Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) after hatching broods. I can find but two previous records of such behavior. Barnes (Auk, 65: 449, 1948) reported an incident of a hand-reared bird nesting in the wild in Indiana. This female was unable to get her brood out of the nest box, and subsequently hatched a second brood. Hester (SE Wildlife Conf., 1962; 8 pp...

The effects of pesticidal contamination of wildlife habitats may be expected to be proportional to the toxicity of the compounds, the rate and manner of application, persistence of the basic chemical and/or any toxic metabolites, and the extent to which these substances are stored in animal tissues or concentrated by successive elements of wildlife food chains. Measurement of these...
