They're Back - Canvasback Ducks Return To Lake Christina By Les Kouba

They're Back - Canvasback Ducks Return to Lake Christina by Les Kouba

According to Warren Upham, Christina Lake was probably named for a pioneer woman of Swedish descent.

In the 1930s and 1940s Christina Lake was considered one of the finest canvasback lakes in the world, even being considered equal to Chesapeake Bay for the number of birds present. Being a large shallow lake thick with sago pondweed created a virtual duck magnet. At this time wildlife biologists counted an average of 50,000 canvasbacks on the lake per day. The lake claimed nearly 20 percent of the continent's canvasbacks.

In this painting the artist painted a flock of canvasback ducks flying over a point with a hunter and his decoys. They are hunting a point of the famous duck lake Christina. This print was published back in 1992 by the Pioneer Heritage Conservation Trust and the A.W.A.G. American Wildlife Art Galleries Minneapolis MN.
