Water returned to Canadian and U.S. breeding grounds this spring and the ducks have responded, according to preliminary results of the 2009 Waterfowl Breeding Population and Habitat Survey. The survey shows a 13 per cent increase of birds over 2008, proving strong duck populations can happen if the necessary habitat and water exist.
