^^ Meodow or Marsh Study Areo Boundary Scale In Miles FIGURE 1. Mountain Meadows study area, Lassen County, California. Drawn by Cliffa Corson. The dominant plants in the marsh are sedge (Carex sp.) and wire rush (Juncus halticns). In fields and meadows with high water tables, various grasses and herbs comprise the dominant cover. The principal economic use of the area was cattle grazing. A state trapper was assigned to trap predators on and adjacent to the stud)' area, since the pilot study had shown that nest predation by coyotes and skunks was a potential menace to the success of the project. NESTING CONDITIONS Duck nesting at Mountain Meadows usually begins in late April or early May. In 1954, the first duck nest was found on April 26; in 1955, on May 12; and in 1956, on May 16. Mallards (Alias platyrhynchos)
