Waterfowl hunting

Waterfowl hunters at Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge.

Waterfowl hunting is the practice of hunting aquatic birds such as ducks, geese and other waterfowls or shorebirds for sport and meat. Waterfowl are hunted in crop fields where they feed, or in areas with bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, ponds, wetlands, sloughs, or coasts.[1] There are around 3 million waterfowl hunters in the United States alone.[2]
