The movements of ducks to refuges in response to hunting pressure were investigated during the opening of the 1981 duck season. Gray teal (Anas gibberifrons), Australian black duck (Anas superciliosa), Australian white-eye (Aythya australis), and Australasian shoveler (Anas rhynchotis) actively sought refuge while pink-eared duck (Malacorhynchus membranaceus) did not. Some implications for management are discussed.
