Three other changes made by the Survey were certainly not calculated to win the Roosevelt Administration votes on the Atlantic seaboard. To the list of protected birds it added Atlantic brant, canvasback and redhead ducks. Daily bag limits for 1936 remain as in 1935 - ten ducks of all species and four geese or brant - with only one day's bag allowed in possession at any time...
