	Waterfowl
		Waterfowl were once so abundant that they seemed to blanket areas of the Bay and to "flen the sky" during their migrations; today their numbers are greatly reduced.
		Some species of waterfowl migrate for 3,000 miles, nonstop, at speeds of 40 to 60 miles an hour.
		It is estimated that at one time, millions of waterfowl spent their winters in the Bay region, supported by profuse SAV beds and supplemental diets rich in invertebrates fished from the shallows.

		Waterfowl have few natural predators on their wintering grounds, and by late December and January, hunting is the principal cause of mortality for many duck species.

		Waterfowl as a family is a noncontroversial concept, but there has been a lot of debate about the arrangement of the subfamilies and tribes within the family, and about the relationship of the Anatidae to other families.

		This was one of the first "compact" family books which would set a pattern to be followed by all too many of those that followed: sets of color paintings together in the front with facing pages of brief text and map, and then detailed species accounts forming the back half of the book.
