	NJDEP Division of Fish & Wildlife - Pintail Satellite Telemetry Study
		Pintails also have a tendency to be early nesters and as such hens and their nests may be more vulnerable to predation.
		Pintails are one of the earliest nesting ducks in North America, and their presence in New Jersey in late February and March is a sure sign that spring is on the way.
		Pintails were captured and marked in Florida (3), South Carolina (8), North Carolina (15), Virginia (3), Maryland (4), and New Jersey (6).

	Northern Pintail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pintail or Northern Pintail (Anas acuta) is a common and widespread duck which breeds in the northern areas of Europe and Asia and across most of Canada, Alaska and the mid-western United States.
		Northern Pintail is a bird of open wetlands, such as wet grassland or tundra, and feeds by dabbling for plant food mainly in the evening or at night.
		The Northern Pintail is one of the species to which the Agreement on the Conservation of African-Eurasian Migratory Waterbirds (AEWA) applies.

		Pintails are generally a prairie nesting species, nesting in short grass prairies and agricultural stubble.
		In addition, very few pintails are banded in the eastern U.S. Questions remain as to whether Western pintails represent only a portion of the pintails on the East Coast, and if population dynamics, harvest, and survival are different for Eastern pintails.
		In an effort to gain insight into the Atlantic Flyway pintail's population status and their relationship to the continental population, VDGIF is participating in an Atlantic Flyway study tracking hen pintails with satellite transmitters.

	Dragorossi: Elite Whitewater Kayaks and Surfboards
		Developing the Pintail was no simple challenge, because like those who intend to use it, by its very definition it refuses to be clearly defined.
		The Pintail is like the people who use it – a breed unto their own who expect their kayak to be as versatile, performing and unique as they are.
		These kinds of people, thinkers, innovators, people of action as much as words, have redefined themselves, and if we were going to produce a kayak for them, it needed to represent the very things that they do: rejection of any simple classification or over simplification of their lives, goals, accomplishments and priorities.

		The pintail is a ‘quarry’ species, meaning that it can be legally shot in winter, but — unlike in parts of Europe — it does not appear that shooting is affecting their population status in the UK.
		Pintails are scarce breeders in the UK where they choose moorland pools and lakes, as well as marshes in Eastern England.
		The Icelandic population spend the winter in Britain, favouring coastal marshes and estuaries, flooded grassland, lakes and reservoirs.

	Birds: The Pintail Duck
		The Pintail haunts wet prairies, mud flats, and the edges of reedy, grassy waters, feeding largely upon bulbous roots, tender shoots, insects and their larvae, worms and snails, and, on its return in the fall, upon various seeds, water plants, and grain.
		The nest of the Pintail is placed on low but dry, grassy land and not far from water, usually under the shelter of a bush, and is a mere depression in the ground lined with grasses and down.
		The habitat of the Pintail Duck is the northern hemisphere in general; in North America it breeds from the northern United States northward to Iceland and south in winter to Cuba and Panama.

	CWA - The Pintail Program (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Excellent conditions for pintail have occurred on their breeding and wintering grounds for five consecutive years, yet pintail numbers remain more than 50% below levels predicted from population rebounds in the past, when pintail numbers showed a strong response to the return of precipitation to their breeding grounds.
		This departure between the observed recovery and expected recovery has been termed the "Pintail Deficit." Clearly, the relationship between pintail and wetland habitat has changed, and California waterfowl enthusiasts are concerned.
		If pintail numbers resume their long-term decline, a typical prairie drought cycle may result in the first closure of hunting pintail within the next few years.

	Anas acuta
		The drake Pintail is perhaps the most handsome of our ducks, the very epitome of grace and elegance.
		His most distinctive identification feature is the wavy white stripe extending up the side of his otherwise brown neck, but birds with their necks hidden can still be told by their white chests, grey bodies, fl and yellow undertails and of course, the long spiky tails.
		The female Pintail lacks the colourful plumage and the tail spike but are still unmistakably elegant, with slender, almost swan-like necks, small plain heads and long slim grey bills.
