Wrapping up reporting for the 2023 nesting season.
OK, with the last results coming in from far-flung precincts, I can total up results for our nesting season.
For our Wood Ducks, 7 nests started, 1 nest lost to predation, 2 nests abandoned for unknown reasons, 4 nests fledged; 76 eggs laid, 53 ducklings fledged. For our Hooded Mergansers, 4 nests started, 4 nests fledged; 47 eggs laid, 45 ducklings fledged. Good absolute numbers for WODU, but a much better fledging rate for HOME….
Once again, thank you, monitors and staff!
Update 24 June 2024: It appears that Google has finally turned off chart.apis.google.com, as well as chart.googleapis.com. Weird: a forum post says that the service was going away in 2019, but the above chart was still working in July 2023. I’ll look into retrofitting this chart with Google Charts.
