Environmental Factors Influencing Incubation Constancy and Recess Frequency in Gadwall (Anas Strepera) in the Prairie Pothole Region of North Dakota

I examined nest attendance patterns for 132 Gadwall (Anas strepera) females breeding in the prairie pothole region located in Towner County, North Dakota from May to July 2000 - 2001.
