Dr. Doug Osborne from University of Arkansas Monticello peels off from his research lab to catch us up on duck banding projects and what's being learned about Arkansas mallards. While most duck hunters cherish leg bands on their lanyards, they provide a wealth of invaluable information for monitoring and research. We get into when mallards arrive and depart from Arkansas, seasonal movements, how Arkansas mallards are genetically exceptional relative to the Mississippi Flyway population, possible reasons increasingly fewer hen mallards are being recovered than were banded, and much more.
