My name is Alex Fredin from Arlington, MN, USA. Myself and friend Maynard Axelson from Mount Vernon, WA, USA are both waterfowl aviculturists (aviculturists are people who practice the keeping and breeding of birds and the culture that forms around it. Aviculture is generally focused on not only the raising and breeding of birds, but also on preserving avian habitat, and public awareness campaigns.). Along with waterfowl aviculture, myself and Maynard hosts people who want to know more about waterfowl, and more in general, waterfowl in the wild. Both of us host biology clubs and students to our places where we show/educate people about these birds and their importance to world. It’s nice talking to a person uneducated about a species they do not see often and talk to them about the issues they are facing in the wild, nesting habits, be it increased predation, effects from pollution, or other human influences, and what it takes for a bird to survive hatching, migration, to start the process over again. We have received a letter of support from the Aiviit Hunter’s and Trapper’s Organization to in the future come up to Coral Harbour, NU and collect waterfowl eggs in the spring during the duck’s & brant’s nesting season. What we would in turn do would be transport these incubated eggs to our own incubation transportation coolers and bring back to our home where we would then hatch the eggs, rear the young, and have stock not well known in the USA for people to be able to enjoy. The reason we have chosen this region as Maynard and myself have a mutual friend, Dr. Chris Nicolai who is a waterfowl biologist and was up for a banding project in Summer of 2016 who talked about greatness of this region. I realize that their would be many permits both from Nunavut, Canadian Government, and then US Fish and Wildlife but I want to see what the local Hunter’s and Trapper’s Organization would feel about this. The species we would look at collecting would be all species which can be legally hunted and have game season’s https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/migratory-game-bird-hunting/regulations-provincial-territorial-summaries/nunavut.html#toc11 . The difference is we are choosing to use the birds for aviculture/education versus harvesting the birds. Waterfowl hunting is a large past time in the USA, I grew up waterfowl hunting a lot, but now I look educating people about these birds. The species which nest on South Hampton Island that we would be interested in egg collection for purposes of education would be King Eiders, Common Eiders, Red-Breasted Mergansers, Long-tailed ducks, and brant geese. The number of eggs I do not know what would be allowed but looking at waterfowl regulations for hunting could be a bench mark. These species are all birds that migrate through down to USA and are physically harvested through hunting but the opportunities to collect eggs for captive education through private individuals does not exist. And by utilizing two people, Maynard and Myself we are able to continue to work together with these species. And would be more than happy to share the success through pictures, keeping in contact, and pictures of uneducated people enjoying these birds.
