The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Division of Migratory Bird Management conducts the Mid-winter Waterfowl Survey, a key initiative aimed at estimating waterfowl populations and documenting their distribution during winter months. This nationwide effort involves various methods of data collection, primarily aerial surveys, to assess habitat use and population trends for various waterfowl species.

Despite its importance, the survey has faced criticism due to limitations such as inconsistent methodology across states and variations in survey effort, which can impact data reliability. Consequently, it is advisable for users to consult with knowledgeable agency personnel when interpreting the data to account for these constraints.
