Role of Agricultural Habitats in Meeting Waterfowl Needs: The CVJV assumes that waterfowl in the Central Valley rely on three major foraging habitats: managed seasonal wetlands, harvested rice fields and harvested corn fields, with the last two being managed on private lands. This project will examine the current contribution of these agricultural sources to waterfowl food energy supplies, how that may change in the future, and what those future changes would mean to waterfowl.
