Great info, I plant a lot of different waterfowl food over the years, wild rice,wapato duck potato,bulrush roots,smart weed deep water potato,sago pond plants, wild celery just to name a few, many others for food and cover. We have planted well over ten thousand plants and roots over the years. I had a list of them some where like the one you posted. Thanks again enjoyed looking at it.

That's really cool. The first time I saw the duck food book I was a Sr. in high school doing a research project at the local university library. I had my hands on it and then NEVER saw it again until I recently stumbled on it online. Neat book that I thought I'd never see again.
Speaking of books, I made a purchase a few years back at the used bookstore for "Migratory Shore and Upland Game Bird Management in North America" by Tacha and Braun. As I read it I felt like I had found the bible that Sutton memorized when it came to birds you can hunt that aren't ducks. So much practical info in it and neatly presented. I'm certain it is in your library too.

Can you imagine a time we expected woodcock and wood ducks to go extinct?
Yes I know the book well Eric. It?s been updated too. Lots of great information.

Eric attached is the cover of a similar publication I have in my library. I browsed it and at one time thought I'd remove the artist prints of ducks and frame them. Since you have an interest in this type info I'd be glad to send it to you rather than destroy it by taking out the prints.

Eric and Brad,
300 pages on the feeding habits of waterfowl in North America. I can't imagine wildlife divisions even considering something like this today. In spite of the depression and dust bowl, 1939 was a good year literary year for waterfowl.
Thank you for this link. If anyone can find a link to the pdf of the companion book on diving ducks, I would be interested in that.

Appreciate the offer. Seeing as how they are available online no need to send it. Go ahead and get the artwork. The sample you showed would have me thinking the same.
