Paul Link is Louisiana Department Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks's North American Waterfowl Management Plan Coordinator. Number of mid-continental white-fronted geese overwintering in southwestern Louisiana has declined drastically in recent years, and Paul's real-time telemetry studies has enabled a greater understanding of specklebellies' life habits and migrational patterns. What is the scope of this research and what does it entail? What factors could be contributing to decline of overwintering specklebellies in southwestern Louisiana? How are concerned hunter-conservationists becoming involved? Paul provides a wealth of interesting information about a fascinating topic.
