Mississippi Delta Waterfowl Surveys Underway Until January

Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks biologists are flying over the Mississippi Delta from November through January to conduct aerial waterfowl surveys. The surveys cover randomly selected transects and do not count every bird but provide a reliable index of waterfowl numbers and habitat use, according to MDWFP.

Hunters and conservationists depend on this data to identify key wetland habitats and monitor how weather and habitat changes influence waterfowl activity, officials said.

The survey results are available on the MDWFP website at https://www.mdwfp.com/wildlife-hunting/wildlife-species-program/waterfowl-program/aerial-survey-reports.
