2006 Aerial
WATERFOWL SURVEYS
Winona District
Pools 4-6
Each week during fall migration, biologists
fly the Mississippi River
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.
