88. Glover, F. A. 1956 Nesting and production of the blue-winged teal in northwest
Iowa. J. Wildl. Manage. 20:28-46.
A 3-year study developed methods to estimate yearly production, identified population trends and factors affecting production, and developed management recommendations for northwest Iowa. Three unplanned fires destroyed nesting cover in large tracts. Blue-winged teal did not nest in the burned areas, even when the vegetation recovered rapidly. The detrimental effects of burning were reflected in teal populations as much as a year after the fire. [From author's abstract]
