Show Thomas Michot, graduate student in the Department of Wildlife Science at Utah State University, is conducting a study on the redhead duck. The study deals with changes in redhead duck productivity in Knudson Marsh in northern Utah. Habitat changes, as well as behavior and movements, will be studied in an attempt to explain the decrease in productivity in the redhead. Comparisons will also be made with state and continental population trends. Two previous redhead studies on Knudson Marsh estimated 500 pairs of redheads in 1950 and 95 pairs in 1 1955. Michot found 65 pairs in 1974. |
