Show Notes

Dr. Scott Stephens, DU Canada, makes his return to the DU Podcast as he and host Dr. Mike Brasher discuss habitat conditions and duck observations across the Prairies. After a late spring, ducks are breeding, surveys are underway, and habitat conditions are trending in the right direction. Also revealed is a new schedule for the DU Podcast, and Mike shares the story of how cleaning out a woodshed led to the discovery of 30-year old fox urine!
