Waterfowl Habitat

Waterfowl habitat refers to the areas where birds like ducks, geese, and swans live, feed, and reproduce. This habitat typically includes wetlands, lakes, rivers, and marshes—environments rich in water and vegetation. These areas provide essential resources such as food (like aquatic plants and small fish) and safe nesting sites. Healthy waterfowl habitats support diverse ecosystems and contribute to biodiversity, while also offering recreational opportunities like birdwatching and hunting. Protecting and restoring these habitats is crucial for maintaining waterfowl populations and the overall health of our natural environments.
