Tracy,
I am also considering adding a duck/dove portion to my uppermost silt collection pond, which is still in the planning stage.
For doves, we need some sand and gravel on the bank and then a shallow 10:1 slope in the pond that also has some sand and gravel. When you pull the pond down a foot in the fall, the doves have a big 10' wide landing zone all of the way around the pond with no cover.
What is your water depth at normal pool and your water depth after draw-down for optimal duck habitat? Or is it reversed, and you flood a terrestrial area just before duck season? Do you plant specific vegetation, or just manage the water cycle to aid the establishment of your indigenous vegetation?
Thanks, Rod
