144 CALIFORNIA FISH AND GAME most wigeons from Alaska, British Columbia and Alberta that were shot in the United States were harvested in the Pacific Flyway, while those from Saskatchewan were recovered nearly equally from hunters in the Mississippi, Central and Pacific flyways. The migration to the Imperial Valley is also slightly more oriented toward the east than that of the Sacramento wigeon populations. There seem to be two main comparisons of the two populations (Figures 2 and 3). First, the Imperial wigeon population is more prone to scatter than the Sacramento wigeon popula- tion. Approximately 10% of the band returns from the Imperial Valley population are recovered on the wintering grounds of northern California, whereas less than 2% of the northern California population band returns
