ADC continued to monitor the growth of white pelican populations and the resulting damage the birds cause to aquaculture in the Southeast. During the summer months, ADC biologists captured, banded, and radio-collared more than 1,000 pelicans on their nesting grounds in North Dakota. The pelicans' movements and migration patterns are now being monitored. During the year, in cooperation with FWS and the Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks, ADC removed coyotes from a site in Montana where black-footed ferrets were to be released. The coyote control program was designed to provide protection for the ferrets in the 2-week period immediately following their release into the wild. In the previous reintroduction, coyotes killed 40 percent of the released ferrets within 4 weeks of their release. To prevent a similar occurrence, FWS requested a coyote control program and also constructed an electric fence around the release site. As a result of these activities, only 3 of the 40 ferrets were killed by coyotes within the first 90 days following ^0/ADC Program Highlights, 1996.
