New York Waterfowl and Wetlands Collaborative Network workshop participants. Wildlife managers and scientists from across New York gathered in July to share research findings and to discuss information needs for the conservation of freshwater wetlands, waterfowl, and other marsh-dependent birds. Jonathan Cohen, ESF adjunct professor Michael Schummer, and their incoming graduate students Justin Droke and Adam Bleau participated in the 2-day workshop that was funded by the SUNY 4E Networks. The ESF team will be embarking on a project with the New York DEC this year to examine the winter ecology of mallards and the American black duck. The latter has seen ongoing population declines over the last 60 years.
