| The Water Bank Act (PL 91-559) authorizes the Department of Agriculture to enter into 10-year agreements with private landowners to preserve, restore and improve the wetlands of the nation that are of the most value to waterfowl nesting. A nesting study was conducted on 851 acres of Water Bank land in Merced County, California. The species nesting on the area as well as nest location, cover and fate of the nest are discussed. |
