Episode #1073: Dr. Mike Brasher
Jeff Stanfield and Andy Shaver are joined by Dr. Mike Brasher, Senior Waterfowl Scientist for Ducks Unlimited, for an in-depth look at the current state of waterfowl across North America.
They break down how conditions in the Prairie Pothole Region are shaping up as ducks and geese head into the breeding season, and what it could mean for the upcoming duck hunting season. The conversation also touches on the return of Black-bellied Whistling Ducks to Knox City, including one compelling theory behind their growing success in the region.
The guys also explore the potential impact of expanding data centers on traditional waterfowl migration patterns and wintering habitats, raising questions about how shifting land use could affect ducks and geese in the years ahead.
To wrap it up, Dr. Brasher dives into the hot topic of flooded corn and duck hunting, explaining why it may not be the only factor influencing waterfowl behavior.
