Book Description
Excerpt from Wild Ducks and Duck Foods of the Bear River Marshes, Utah It has been said in the foregoing that the supplies Of Seeds car ried over winter in the fruiting heads of the bayonet grass, or tule, are of importance as food fer the Wild ducks returning from the South in spring. AS these seeds are available practically through out the year they furnish a valuable source of sustenance. The burning of large areas, therefore to clear the marsh or to induce a fresh clean growth for ranging purposes is to be frowned upon, as it tends to destroy a certain proportion of the available stock of duck food. Many of the seeds are charred and destroyed by the flames, and though apart are not seriously harmed a largepropor tion of the'stockis. Liable to be washed away. And lost during the high water _incident to the breaking up of the winter covering of Ice In spring, and the subsequent floods due to melting snows in the foothills. While the practice of burning clears the marsh, it also destroys mats and tangles of dead vegetation that in many cases form necessary Shelters for the breeding ducks, insuring the successful hiding of their nests and later protecting the young until they are strong enough to venture into the Open.
