Most mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) banded in eastern Missouri in 1968-76 and recovered outside the State moved south-southeast into Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. Most doves banded in central and western Missouri and recovered elsewhere moved south-southwest into Kansas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, Mexico, and Central America. Several central Missouri doves moved southeast.
A banding program for mourning doves (Zenaida macroura) was conducted by the 14 Central Management Unit (CMU) States and the U.S. FIsh and Wildlife Service during 1967-74. Banding and recovery records, as well as data from annual call-count and harvest surveys, were subsequently analyzed by a subcommittee of the Central Migratory Shore and Upland Game Bird Technical Committee. This paper presents information on mourning dove habitat, hunting regulations, and harvest in the CMU; distribution and derviation of band recoveries in and from CMU; distribution of mourning dove harvest in Mexico and Central America; chronology of migration; survival and recovery rates; effects of hunting on CMU mourning dove populations; and indirect nationwide mourning dove population estimates.
A study of canvasback (Aythya valisineria) breeding populations, nest success, productivity, and habitat requirements was conducted from 1961 to 1972 on a 181.3 square kilometer area south of Minnedosa, Manitoba.
