Show Notes

Spring is a time for waterfowl nesting, and it’s also a time when our feathered friends venture into our neighborhoods and back yards looking for a safe place to lay eggs and raise their brood. On this episode, Dr. Mike Brasher and guest host Dr. Jerad Henson are joined by Tim Jasinski of the Lake Erie Nature and Science Center to share expert advice on how to deal with these annual visitors. As a wildlife rehab specialist, Tim is always eager to provide guidance and insight on the curious ways of waterfowl and other wildlife that make unexpected and sometimes unwelcome entrances into our world. Covering everything from injured birds to aggressive geese, hen mallards in flower pots, and duckling in swimming pools, there aren’t many things Tim hasn’t experienced. Join us as we learn from the expert and hear a few fascinating stories in the process. And the question we all need answered… Should I feed bread to park ducks??
