Recent research suggests conservation targeting in the Prairie Pothole Region would benefit from data on brood distribution in addition to breeding pair distribution. This project will provide the framework from which state agencies can acquire these data. We will develop a scalable brood survey methodology using both roadside and drone surveys.
