The Gulf Coast wetlands provides a habitat to millions of migratory birds, including the federally threatened Eastern Black Rail bird. Thanks to Ducks Unlimited's conservation efforts in The San Bernard National Wildlife Refuge, the elusive bird's habitat is being safeguarded and we're honored to be able to support this and the organization's other impactful projects in that area.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) has just released the results of their 2024 Waterfowl Breeding Population Survey today. The survey observed a decrease in the estimated total breeding duck population, down 25% from 2023, with an estimated average of 373,864 ducks, 30% below the long-term average (LTA).

“With a 25% decline in breeding ducks, the importance of Ducks Unlimited’s conservation work cannot be overstated," said Jeff McCreary, director of operations for the western region. "For nearly 40 years, DU has been an active partner in California, restoring floodplains, ensuring water deliveries for managed wetlands, and protecting vital habitats for waterfowl and people.

Earlier this year, DU partnered to bring much-needed water to the national wildlife refuges in the Klamath Basin, a key California waterfowl production area that has been dry the last few years. This complements our many other efforts throughout the state and the Pacific Flyway to support California’s waterfowl.”
