Human Disturbances to Waterfowl
Annotated Bibliography

During the fall and spring many of the feeding areas were not utilized when fishing and boating activities were going on. Even during mid-winter when a comparatively balmy Saturday or Sunday encouraged human activity along the shore, the lesser scaup would not be present in their normal feeding areas.
