In part 1 of the DU Podcast's series on the history of waterfowl harvest management, Dale Humburg, former DU chief scientist, and Ken Babcock, former DU senior director of regional operations, discuss these early days and the resistance to federal intervention.

When I was eight, growing up in England, I was already really into birds. I was in the Young Ornithologists Club for goodness sake! I didn't have one friend who was into birds. But these days, things are different. Here in the USA, almost 100 million people birdwatch. And that number's growing. There's a lot going on between the birds, as they flit around chirping and singing To us, it might just sound like beautiful little tunes. But to birds, and even other species in the forest,  there’s a whole hidden world of conversation out there— love songs, alarm calls, turf wars, parenting struggles — entire dramas unfolding above our heads. So what are they saying? And why are they saying it? Naturalist Libby Mills has spent almost her entire life learning how to make sense of what the birds are saying. Today, I take a walk with Libby in her backyard where she helps us slow down, listen deeply, and try to better understand what’s going on in a bird’s world. GUEST:Libby Mills, naturalist at the North Cascades Institute Check out our Great British Birding Show episode to meet a wildly enthusiastic birder on the other side of the pond. Bird book Libby recommends: The Sibley Guide to Birds - Second Edition Birding app: Merlin Bird ID This is our last official episode of the season.

Bird watching may be more than a relaxing and rewarding pastime - it could also be good for the brain. Erik Wing from Canada's Baycrest Academy for Research and Education spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Today we're exploring the world of Birding - otherwise known as Birdwatching - with Rick Szabo. Rick has been birding for more than 14 years and observed over 1600 different species. He also guides tours for fellow bird enthusiasts in Texas, California, Ontario, Saskatchewan and Costa Rica.

Chris Jennings and Dr. Mike Brasher peruse a series of fun facts about waterfowl, including questions such as how many invertebrates a wood duck eats, which waterfowl species is the largest, which lives the longest, which is the fastest and why is it not green-winged teal. The duo also discuss observations from past research including multiple paternity, double brooding, long-distance migration, which acorns wood ducks consider the tastiest, and several others.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS:Purina Pro Plan: The official performance dog food of Ducks UnlimitedWhether you're a seasoned hunter or just getting started, this episode is packed with valuable insights into the world of waterfowl hunting and conservation.Bird Dog Whiskey and Cocktails:Whether you're winding down with your best friend, or celebrating with your favorite crew, Bird Dog brings award-winning flavor to every moment.

Jon Henriksson is a Stockholm-based double bassist and composer who has become one of the leading voices in the contemporary Scandinavian jazz scene. Born in 1996 in Gothenburg, his path to the bass started when a high school big band director gave him just two months to learn the instrument for a Christmas concert. His 2023 debut album Harmonia placed second in Orkesterjournalen's Golden Album readers' poll, and his new album Shapeshifter drops March 20th, 2026, featuring a quartet with pianist Rasmus Sørensen, drummer Jonas Bäckman, and saxophonist Karl-Martin Almqvist. In this conversation, Jon talks about discovering bird watching and nature photography during the pandemic as a counterbalance to musical life. He shares his compositional process of improvising at the piano and layering ideas on his phone, the Swedish folk high school system that's created a vibrant jazz pipeline to Stockholm, and the jam sessions he hosts twice weekly at Stompin in Old Town. Jon explains how he writes music drawing from Brazilian influences, folk, and pop alongside jazz traditions, and why he wanted Shapeshifter to give space for his favorite musicians to express their personalities. Connect with Jon on Instagram, and listen to his music on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube.

What are you doing here?"He: "ידעתי שאתה מחפש משהו." חייכה גלית.En: "I knew you were looking for something," Galit smiled.He: "חשבתי שתצטרך חבר."En: "I thought you might need a friend."He: יחד הם המשיכו לטפס, עד שלפתע הבחינו בו.En: Together they continued to climb, until suddenly they spotted it.He: הנשר ישב בגאווה על הצוק, כנפיו עצומות לרווחה.En: The vulture sat proudly on the cliff, its wings fully spread.He: המראה היה מרהיב ובלתי נשכח.En: The sight was breathtaking and unforgettable.He: ארי ידע שזה רגע שלא כדאי לפספס.En: Ari knew it was a moment not to be missed.He: "לצלם אותו!" הציע גלית בהתרגשות, והביאה את הטלפון שלה.En: "Take a picture of it!" suggested Galit excitedly, pulling out her phone.He: היא עזרה לארי לצלם כמה תמונות יפות של הנשר.En: She helped Ari take some beautiful photos of the vulture.He: כשחזרו לקבוצה, הציגו את התמונות בפני כל הכיתה.En: When they returned to the group, they showed the pictures to the entire class.He: המורה וחבריהם היו מלאים בהתרגשות.En: The teacher and their classmates were filled with excitement.He: הכיתה כולה הריעה, וארי הרגיש שתשומת הלב מופנית אליו כמו שלא היה קודם.En: The whole class cheered, and Ari felt the focus on him like never before.He: זה היה הרגע שבו ארי הבין שלא מספיק למצוא ציפור נדירה כדי להתחבר לאחרים.En: It was in that moment that Ari understood that finding a rare bird wasn't enough to connect with others.He: הידיעה שיש לו חבר כמו גלית שכבר מבינה אותו - זה היה מה שבאמת חשוב.En: Knowing he had a friend like Galit who already understood him - that was what truly mattered.He: עם הביטחון החדש שהפגין, ידע ארי שבדרך הזאת הוא יכול להתחבר לכולם, והכיתה הייתה פתוחה לקבל אותו בהנאה.En: With the newfound confidence he displayed, Ari knew that in this way he could connect with everyone, and the class was open to accepting him with joy.He: ארי וגלית נעמדו זה לצד זו, מביטים יחד אל הנוף, כאשר שמש החורף החלה לשקוע באופק, והבינו עד כמה כוחו של חבר אחד יכול לשנות הכל.En: Ari and Galit stood side by side, gazing together at the landscape, as the winter sun began to set on the horizon, realizing how much the power of one friend can change everything.
