Weather conditions: |
| Poor weather conditions, heavy rainfall and, in some areas, fairly heavy predation point to an average year for waterfowl breeding in Quebec in 2004, despite above average-survey results for most game bird species.

Breeding conditions:
|
| The laying season began approximately 20 days later (June 10 to 15 in 2004) than the average starting date in past years. Apparent nesting success at the Ungava Bay sites was very low in 2004. Only 14% to 27% of the eggs were full term, compared with 38% to 70% in 2003. Nesting success at the sites located along Hudson's Bay was similar to that observed in previous years, ie, approximately 75% to 85%.
