Dahlgren, R. B., and Korschgen, C. E., 1992, Human disturbances of waterfowl: An
annotated bibliography: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Technical Report, v. 187, 62 p.

Abstract

The expansion of outdoor recreation greatly increased the interaction between the
public, waterfowl, and  waterfowl habitat. The effects of these interactions on
waterfowl habitats are visible and obvious, whereas the  effects of interactions that
disrupt the normal behavior of waterfowl are subtle and often overlooked, but  perhaps
no less harmful than destruction of habitat. Resource managers and administrators
require  information on the types, magnitude, and effect of disturbances from human
contact with wildlife. This  bibliography contains annotations for 211 articles with
information about effects of human disturbances on  waterfowl. Indexes are provided
by subject or key words, geographic locations, species of waterfowl, and  authors.
