Key Points

Blue ducks displayed mating behavior in response to recorded calls, indicating effective territorial signaling.
The use of recorded calls may assist in monitoring blue duck populations, serving as a valuable census tool.
The method involved recorded calls to attract blue ducks, providing insights into their territorial behavior.
The findings suggest further exploration of recorded calls for population studies on blue ducks.

Implication

Observational analysis of blue duck reactions to recorded calls reveals potential for census tools.

Abstract

The technique of using recorded calls in order to induce territorial blue duck to show themselves is described. Its value as a census tool is discussed. On the last night of experimenting the blue duck mated, possibly caused by the stimulus of ‘rival pair’ sounds.
