PIERRE, S.D.--A special Web site offers waterfowl hunters up-to-date information about all four of North America's flyways.
<br>The site, www.Flyways.us, a joint effort of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Canadian Wildlife Service, was developed by biologists and waterfowl manager across the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central and Pacific flyways.<br>
<br>"This Web site represents an excellent way for waterfowl hunters to stay current on the latest news from the flyways," said George Vandel, assistant director for the Wildlife Division of the S.D. Game, Fish and Parks Department. "Having this kind of extensive, science-based information available on one Web site will certainly help hunters, biologists and wildlife agency administrators."<br>
<br>The Web site includes video reports on waterfowl breeding habitat, current waterfowl population information and an interactive map to find out where birds were banded and recovered. There is also a section where questions will be answered by waterfowl management experts.
