A visit to the Delta Waterfowl Research Station

Abstract

The Delta Station is situated 75 miles north-west of Winnipeg, on the southern shore of Lake Manitoba. It is on the edge of the great Delta marsh--an expanse of Phragmites split up by innumerable interlocking bays and pools. This marsh supports large numbers of breeding waterfowl and it is also a concentrating pint for migrants travelling to and from more northerly haunts. Like the Trust, Delta is a centre for various types of waterfowl research. For a number of reasons, however, the work of the two organisations does not overlap.
