t.-We monitored radio-marked female American Black Ducks (Anas rubripes) and Ma rhynchos) in agricultural landscapes of southern Qu6bec in 1994-1996 to characterize nesting hab pare nesting success and female survival rates. In early spring, when nesting cover is almost agricultural fields, both species avoid fields for nesting. These habitats are rather used later in cas Both species selected recent wood cuts and edge-transition habitats (abandoned farmland, hedge areas) as nesting habitat. Median nest initiation date, clutch size, and nest success rates did not diff two species. Especially high Black Duck nesting success (100%) in peatlands underlines the imp habitats. When peatland nests are excluded to provide a better indication of what prevails in ty landscapes, nesting effort of female Mallards is almost twice that of Black Ducks. Survival rates of females for both species, both during laying and post-laying periods.
