Geographical locations, ecological classification, and surficial geology units of the Great Clay Belt of Ontario. to the extensive network of roads for logging and mining, gives the Clay Belt greater potential for enhanced waterfowl production through habitat man- agement than in the neighbouring boreal forest. This importance is well-recognized and the Clay Belt is included as a priority area in the Eastern Habitat Joint Venture of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan (NAWMP Update 1994). Maximizing the effectiveness of management activities requires knowledge of the breeding distri- butions and habitat preferences of various waterfowl species frequenting the area. A study of waterfowl productivity across the Clay Belt of Ontario was therefore undertaken jointly by Ducks Unlimited Canada, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources and the Canadian Wildlife Service. The main objec- tives were to: (1) assess species composition, densi- ty, and distribution of the waterfowl community. (2) determine habitat correlates of nesting and brood- rearing waterfowl, and (3) develop a wildlife habitat map using LANDSAT. This paper describes water- fowl species composition, density and distribution across the Clay Belt, relates these to broad habitat patterns in the area, and estimates the contribution of the Clay Belt to overall waterfowl populations in northern Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Ottawa Field-Naturalists' Club.
