Two different surveying strategies provided insight into the wildlife and vegetation communities within the south basin of Lake Winnipeg. Incidental wildlife observations were conducted along the entire shoreline between Riverton and Traverse Bay from July 30 to August 4, 2011. Surveys were conducted from a boat operated approximately 30-metres offshore. All wildlife observed between the boat and the shoreline (littoral zone), or within a 30-metre buffer upslope of the high water mark (riparian zone), are included in the data. These sightings provided valuable insight into habitat use and preference of avian communities within the south basin. A second round of more intensive wildlife and vegetation sampling occurred in the south basin between August 4 and 7, 2011. Wildlife and vegetation surveys were conducted both off and on-shore at 23 locations in the south basin (shown on map).
