Groups of data are organized by flyways, from Pacific to Atlantic, with appendixes of tables to correspond. Individuals or organizations that submitted a report have been credited. Although many of the narrative statements have been briefed, and a few tables deleted or shortened if they contained data submitted previously or in another form, the essential information from each report has been retained to the greatest extent possible.

This report contains information obtained from the 1974-75 midwinter waterfowl survey, the 1975 waterfowl breeding population and production surveys, and the waterfowl harvest surveys for the 1974-75 hunting season.
Singing-ground surveys of the American woodcock indicate that breeding populations have increased gradually over the past 7 years while production, as indicated by wing-collection surveys, has remained relatively stable. The woodcock harvest, meanwhile, has probably more than doubled during the past decade. This suggests that while woodcock are probably becoming more important to North American sportsmen, hunting mortality is still relatively unimportant.
An index of woodcock reproductive success in 1961 and 1962 was obtained from age ratios in the hunting kill as determined from wings. For both seasons combined, hunters contributed 25,426 woodcock wings.
