Jack Miner Bible-verse-inscribed leg bands have long been revered as holy grail momentos among in-the-know waterfowl hunters. Formed in 1904 by a former fur trapper and market hunter, the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary once garnered international attention and was Canada's foremost tourist attraction, connecting legions of both hunters and non-hunters to wild geese and ducks. But times change. Public interests shift. Now in a time where habitat loss is unprecedented, where hunter participation increasingly dwindles, and a more urbanized humanity is disengaged from their wild surroundings, Jack Miner's legacy seems more important than ever before. Collaborating with 50 Ducks' streaming migration technology, they're on an "education is conservation" mission to turn the tide. And need your help. Tune in to learn more about Jack Miner's past, present and future and how you can join them meaningfully in renewed waterfowl conservation efforts.

Millions of people in North America are unaware of the critical challenges facing waterfowl and the ecosystems they rely on. With wetlands disappearing at an alarming rate, how can we inspire more people to join the conservation cause? That’s why we created 50 Ducks—in partnership with the Jack Miner Foundation—a pioneering platform that allows you to follow waterfowl in near real-time using GPS telemetry data. By sharing their incredible migration journeys, 50 Ducks connects people to the beauty of these birds and their habitats, fostering a deeper appreciation and driving support for conservation efforts.

  From classrooms naming their own waterfowl to hunters and birders exploring near real-time migration data, 50 Ducks brings the “sky to screen,” fostering a deep connection to wildlife and wetlands. With over 1,350 historical birds and dozens of live birds you can follow today—and more added to the map every fall and spring—you can track the movements of waterfowl across North America. It all starts at Jack Miner, but the sky’s the limit for where we can go. Help us help birds by joining today!
