We have a really good one for you guys this week! We were lucky to be joined by Senior Waterfowl Scientist @mbrasher_ducks from Ducks Unlimited to discuss a bunch of different waterfowl-related topics and hear some of the science behind the "why." A great conversation and definitely looking forward to having him on again. Let us know what you think!
