The article focuses on the habitat use of female Mallards (Anas Platyrchychos) wintering on the Gulf Coast of Chenier Plain (GCCP) in Southwestern Louisiana. The study used radio-telemetry records taken during the winter of 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 and sorted the results by type of habitat and relation to mallard age, season, and hunting periods. The results suggest the importance of freshwater marshes for female mallards and that their preservation should be a priority.
