Ep. 83 Legacy in the Marsh (Part 2): A Conversation with Dr. John Eadie on Mentorship, Waterfowl, and What Comes Next


Listen Later

In Part 2 of this special two-part series on Save it for the Blind, hosts Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard continue their conversation with UC Davis professor and waterfowl biologist Dr. John Eadie. This time, they dive deeper into his most memorable fieldwork stories, the conservation challenges that keep him up at night, and what the future holds for wetlands, waterfowl, and the students he’s helped guide for decades.

Dr. Eadie shares the behind-the-scenes highs and lows of major research projects, the meaning behind holding the Dennis G. Raveling Endowed Chair, and why initiatives like College Camp and the Egg Salvage Program matter now more than ever. He opens up about favorite species, unforgettable hybrid ducks, and what retirement might look like—with a mix of consulting, mentoring, hunting, and a lot more time in the marsh.

This episode is full of wisdom, humor, and heart—an inspiring look at a life lived for wildlife, education, and legacy. 👉 Be sure to like, subscribe, and leave a comment with your feedback or any topics you'd love us to cover in future episodes—your input helps keep the conversation going.
