RE: 2002 Mallard orders / Orders and Deposit has to be in by March 31^st

Dear Mallard Restoration Donor:

As you have witnessed this year, mallards in great numbers may not fly south of the Mason-Dixon Line if snow does not cover their food source. This is what happened this year in the southeast; if this happened several years in a row you may see some of the same reluctance for mallards to fly as far south. This reluctance to migrate south is what happened to the Canada geese that once wintered in the southeastern United States and Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge in North Alabama. No matter how much money we spend on the northern reproduction grounds it is not a sure guaranteed this would ensure the southern states would have a good migration of mallards and other waterfowl.

According to AWA’s and other conservation groups past studies and results, the best way Alabama can be sure mallards will be here is to make sure that mallards release projects take place every year. We cannot control the weather up north, however we do know that these release programs do supplement the duck harvest in mallard restoration areas.

Enclosed is the many benefits a landowner or hunting club can reap from AWA’s mallard restoration projects.

• Increases the harvest opportunity, thus inspiring others in the area to create more waterfowl habitat for the hunting and bird watching enjoyment.
• The banding data has provided information on where the mallards that winter in Alabama returns to and stages at on their journey south.
• This program gives everyone a since of putting something back and helping conservation in our state.
• There is a thrill of seeing someone’s excitement, when they harvest a banded mallard, released by this program.
• The Internet band recovery reporting system has been a very big success and something that the customers and band reporters have enjoyed.

Sincerely,

Jerry D. Davis
