I radio-tagged 191 Hatch-Year (HY) and After-Hatch-Year (AHY) female northern pintails (Anas acuta) in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV), California and studied their movements, habitat use and survival during August March, 1991-94.
Overall, 94.3% wintered in central California; the highest percentage left during
the 1991 drought. Tulare Basin and Mendota...
