A view of the Senator Duck Club near Willows, Calif. “We have a larger number of birds now and improved goose shooting,” said Eric Iseman, who co-owns the club with Roy Preston. “We need less water now to flood. Before the habitat improvement project, we could not use one third of our land for hunting. Now it is 100 percent accessible and productive.” Photo by John Heil, USFWS.
