With duck season winding down, we look ahead to the 2022 breeding season. Dr. Scott Stephens, DU Canada, joins the podcast to provide late winter insights on snow cover and what it might mean for recharging prairie wetlands. Although a welcome start, more precip will be needed to bring significant improvements for returning birds. The other big issue that remains is the spring BPOP survey. With hopeful anticipation, DUC staff are primed and ready to assist.
