2006 Aerial
WATERFOWL SURVEYS
La Crosse District
Pools 7-8
Each week during fall migration, biologists

to count the number of waterfowl using Pools 4 - 14 of the Refuge.
Due to survey techniques, this total number is not necessarily the total number of waterfowl in a specific pool.
Select links below to view 2006 waterfowl numbers by District and Pool locations.
