Özet
The Ferruginous Duck (Aythya nyroca) is globally threatened duck species, and in Turkey the population is in decline. Records of the species were obtained during field excursions carried out in different localities of Southeast Anatolia between 1998 and 2015. These data were evaluated to gain a clearer understanding about the local status of the species. Five areas arose as possible breeding sites, while Karkamis Dam is the most significant wetland both for breeding and the wintering of the species. The main threats are the alteration of wetlands, reed destruction, illegal hunting, and aquatic pollution.
