CWA urges "yes" vote on Proposition 3
A water bond measure, the “Water Supply and Water Quality Act of 2018”, will be considered Tuesday on the statewide ballot. 

Listed as Proposition 3 , this bond measure would provide the single greatest amount of waterfowl and managed wetland-related habitat funding of any statewide initiative ever considered by the California electorate.  

2018 banding season summary
It was a banner year for the banding crew at California Waterfowl. From the end of the 2017-18 hunt season until just before opening day of 2018-19, our team was hard at work across the state keeping tabs on our migrating waterfowl populations while also helping local breeding ducks. Those efforts lead to an all-time high in post-season pintail banding at CWA along with solid results from our other programs. All told more than 8,300 birds were banded in 2018!
