  • Out of state bashing

    Want to start by saying I really enjoy the podcast. But I must say that I REALLY didn’t appreciate the out of state hunter bashing of episode 205. I guess you Kansas waterfowlers are much better than the rest of us.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode #299 Blue-Winged Teal Duckling Survival Jumped From 20% to 70% | Grant Rhodes
Q: How did the concept for using drones to count broods develop?
Delta Waterfowl identified a need to bridge nest survival with brood survival and showed that drones could count duck broods more accurately and efficiently, leading to a survey design that marks broods and uses detection probabilities to refine estimates.
Episode #292 The Biggest Threat to Duck Habitat Right Now? | Dr. Scott Stephens & Dr. Mike Brasher
Q: What is the core purpose of the drain tile setback rule on wetland easements?
The rule sets science-based setbacks to prevent drainage from harming wetlands, while allowing landowners to implement tile systems through an approved process that provides a safe harbor against liability.
Episode #278 The Secret Life of American White Pelicans
Q: What are the main threats to pelicans, and how is the data about Great Salt Lake relevant to their future?
Threats include drought reducing water bodies and prey availability, habitat loss around breeding colonies, and human-made factors like water use and data-center water consumption; tracking pelicans helps understand how these stressors affect migration, breeding, and survival.
Episode #278 The Secret Life of American White Pelicans
Q: How do pelicans' feeding habits work, and what makes their foraging efficient in groups?
Pelicans use cooperative feeding to corral schools of fish into shallows where they perform synchronized scoops; group foraging increases prey capture rates and is aided by their large, expandable pouches and the vocal/physical coordination within flocks.
Episode #278 The Secret Life of American White Pelicans
Q: Can you talk about the migration range and patterns of the pelicans around the Great Salt Lake?
Pelicans migrate north in spring, with most leaving for cooler waters in mid-October and returning in March; some individuals stay year-round near open water, while others travel to Mexico or the Salton Sea, and there are two meta-populations split by the Rocky Mountains.
