Wetland and breeding transition probabilities were state (m) and year (t) specific, ψm(t)Rm(t), for all models. Covariates are abbreviated as follows: veg represents site‐specific vegetation cover that varies by year, Vegave represents the average vegetation cover at sites across years. Model selection information including Akaike's Information Criterion corrected for small sample size (AICc), the difference in AICc from the top ranked model (ΔAICc), model weights, number of parameters (K), and deviance are shown for each model.
