Use of satellite telemetry to identify common loon migration routes, staging areas and wintering range
We developed a satellite transmitter attachment technique for adult Common Loons (Gavia immer) that would help in identifying important migration routes, staging areas, and the location of wintering grounds of birds that breed in the north central United States. During the autumn and winter of 1998, the migration of six adult loons that were radio marked in northern Wisconsin and Minnesota was monAuthorsKevin P. Kenow, Michael W. Meyer, David Evers, David C. Douglas, J. HinesEffects of irradiance on growth and winter bud production by Vallisneria americana and consequences to its abundance and distribution
Number, total biomass, and individual mass of winter buds of Vallisneria americana was significantly related to the depth of the 1% of surface irradiance (Z) and the photosynthetic photon irradiance calculated for each shading treatment imposed during this study. Between the range of 23.8 and 111.2 cm depth for the 1% Z, total biomass of winterbuds produced ranged from 0.63 to 0.01 g, counts rangeAuthorsCarl E. Korschgen, W. L. Green, Kevin P. KenowSurvival of radiomarked canvasback ducklings in northwestern Minnesota
Duckling survival, an important factor affecting annual recruitment, has not been determined adequately for canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria). We investigated the magnitude, timing, and causes of mortality of canvasback ducklings from hatch to fledging at the Agassiz National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in northwestern Minnesota during 1987-90. During the 4 years, 217 day-old ducklings were radiomarked aAuthorsCarl E. Korschgen, Kevin P. Kenow, William L. Green, Douglas H.

Samuel, Louis SileoCanvasback mortality from illegal hunting on the upper Mississippi River
To quantify the consequences of local hunting on illegal kill of canvasbacks (Aythya valisineria), we studied the behavior of hunters on a 646-ha area open to duck hunting (closed to canvasback hunting) on Lake Onalaska, Navigation Pool 7, Wisconsin, during the 1991 and 1992 waterfowl hunting seasons. Law enforcement officers observed 258 hunting parties for 419 hours. Of 94 hunting parties encounAuthorsCarl E. Korschgen, Kevin P. Kenow, James M. Nissen, John F. Wetzel - News
