Show Notes

Since 1970, North America has lost nearly 3 billion birds, and while ducks and geese have long been a bright spot, their lights are dimming. On this co-branded episode, join Ramsey Russell of "It's Duck Season Somewhere," as he interviews Dr. Mike Brasher and breaks down bird declines by major groupings and explains why birds are disappearing—some faster than others. Also discussed are the challenges of celebrating successes without become complacent and a reminder that hunter-funded conservation matters now more than ever. Amid these declines, what can be done to bring them back?
