Abstract
Predator-destroyed and artificial nests of black (Anas rubripes) and ring-necked (Aythya collaris) ducks in Maine were studied for characteristic signs which might enable predator identification. Most conclusive data, principally the presence of mammalian hairs, were obtained for the raccoon, red fox, mink, skunk, and crow.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
