Jeff and Dan explain how the outbreak developed, why the Klamath Basin remains critical to the Pacific Flyway, and how Ducks Unlimited and partners are working to bring additional water into the refuge system before conditions worsen. Topics CoveredWhy botulism outbreaks occur during drought conditionsThe connection between snowpack, water availability, and wetland healthHow more than 100,000 ducklings were produced despite current challengesWhat “flow-through” water management could mean for the Klamath BasinThe importance of Lower Klamath and Tule Lake refugesWhy collaboration is essential to solving long-term water issuesHow DU and partners are responding to current conditionsThe future of waterfowl habitat in the Pacific FlywayListen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS: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.

Are you interested in how to adapt our natural systems to climate change? Debate of the article titled Facilitating adaptive forest management under climate change: A spatially specific synthesis of 125 species for habitat changes and assisted migration over the eastern United States from 2019, by Louis R. Iverson, Anantha M. Prasad, Matthew P. Peters, and Stephen N. Matthews, published in the MDPI Forests journal.This is a great preparation to our next interview with Jasen Johns in episode 448 talking about urban and community forestry. Since we are investigating the future of cities, I thought it would be interesting to see how our natural systems, specifically forests in this case, can be prepared for climate change. This article synthesises two decades of research to provide a comprehensive framework for managing species under the changing climate.Find the article through this link.Abstract: We modeled and combined outputs for 125 tree species for the eastern United States, using habitat suitability and colonization potential models along with an evaluation of adaptation traits. These outputs allowed, for the first time, the compilation of tree species' current and future potential for each unit of 55 national forests and grasslands and 469 1 × 1 degree grids across the eastern United States. A habitat suitability model, a migration simulation model, and an assessment based on biological and disturbance factors were used with United States Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis data to evaluate species potential to migrate or infill naturally into suitable habitats over the next 100 years. We describe a suite of variables, by species, for each unique geographic unit, packaged as summary tables describing current abundance, potential future change in suitable habitat, adaptability, and capability to cope with the changing climate, and colonization likelihood over 100 years. This resulting synthesis and summation effort, culminating over two decades of work, provides a detailed data set that incorporates habitat quality, land cover, and dispersal potential, spatially constrained, for nearly all the tree species of the eastern United States. These tables and maps provide an estimate of potential species trends out 100 years, intended to deliver managers and publics with practical tools to reduce the vast set of decisions before them as they proactively manage tree species in the face of climate change.Connected episodes you might be interested in:No.392 - Interview with Sebastian Pfautsch about being climate smartNo.411R - Is coastal climate adaptation infrastructure worth public investment?

As eastern mallards declined in the early 2000s, waterfowl managers developed a new approach for setting duck harvest frameworks in the Atlantic Flyway. Termed “multi-stock management,” this approach steps away from mallards and relies on 4 species that better capture harvest opportunities for eastern hunters.

Title: Back on Track: How Time Mastery Helps You Reset When Life Gets Messy Host: Michael J. Maher Guest: Tina Collazo Description: What happens when life knocks you completely off your ideal schedule? In this episode of the Referrals Podcast, Michael sits down with longtime GenGen member, real estate professional, entrepreneur, and relationship-builder Tina Collazo to talk about what Time Mastery really looks like in real life. Tina shares how the Time Mastery system helped her regain control of a demanding schedule that spans multiple businesses, professions, and states. Using tools such as the weekly timesheet, Sparks, Big Rocks, and a structured daily schedule, she created a foundation she could return to whenever life became overwhelming. And that foundation was tested immediately before this episode. After an especially difficult week filled with scheduling challenges, communication issues, and unexpected disruptions, Tina considered postponing the interview because she had fallen away from her ideal schedule. Instead, she realized that getting off track was exactly why this conversation mattered. Time Mastery is not about executing a perfect schedule every day. It is about having a proven system that helps you recognize when you are drifting, reset your priorities, and begin again. Michael and Tina also explore the Influential Zone and the relationship-building activities that create meaningful business results, including returning calls, setting appointments, VIP survey conversations, one-to-one meetings, networking events, and Hour of Power conversations. Tina explains how her mindset has shifted from focusing primarily on her own business goals to approaching every conversation with genuine curiosity, generosity, and a desire to make others feel heard. That change has helped her build new relationships, uncover opportunities, and begin planning an Italian wine-tasting event that will support Habitat for Humanity. This episode is an honest look at the connection between time, relationships, accountability, and referrals—and a powerful reminder that success is not about never falling behind. It is about knowing how to get back on track.

In the last 50 years, Britain has lost an astonishing 73 million wild birds from its landscape, according to the British Trust for Ornithology. Habitat loss, pesticides, disease, cats and the climate crisis mean there are fewer birds than ever before. For children and young people it can be difficult to appreciate the scale of the loss due to a psychological phenomenon called ‘shifting baseline syndrome', where each generation inherits a degraded version of the environment, and therefore doesn't notice the overall decline. But Gen Z are bucking the trend. Thanks to social media and the Merlin Bird ID app, birding has become cool. To find out what we're missing from the dawn chorus, and why young people are embracing birdwatching, Madeleine Finlay hears from the writer Robert Macfarlane and from Jess Painter, a member of the RSPB's youth council.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater and Thomas Mlsna (Untamed Ambition) discuss various aspects of land management and hunting strategies. They delve into the current trends in land management, the challenges faced by landowners, and the role of realtors in land transactions. The conversation also covers habitat improvement strategies, the importance of water sources for wildlife, and the maintenance of water holes and ponds. Throughout the discussion, they emphasize the need for careful planning and consideration of individual property needs. takeaways Land management requires a shift in mentality to work with nature. Accessibility of properties is becoming increasingly challenging. Realtors may not always provide unbiased information about land value. Habitat improvement can be achieved through addition or deletion. Water sources play a critical role in attracting wildlife. Maintenance of water holes can be simplified with proper planning. Every property has unique needs that must be assessed individually. Investing in larger water sources can be more beneficial than smaller ones. Understanding the local ecosystem is crucial for effective land management. Consulting with professionals can help avoid costly mistakes in land purchases.

JOIN US AT THE 2026 DUCKS UNLIMITED EXPO! July 31 - August 2 at the RENASANT CONVENTION CENTER in Memphis, TN What will the 2026 duck season look like? It all starts on the prairies.In this annual Ducks Unlimited tradition, host Dr. Mike Brasher is joined by Dr. Scott Stephens and Dr. Steve Adair to break down current habitat conditions across the Prairie Pothole Region and make early predictions for the breeding population survey.The conversation highlights a familiar but important theme: variability. While parts of the Canadian prairies have benefited from recent precipitation, other regions — particularly across portions of the U.S. prairies — remain dry. The group discusses how timing of moisture plays a critical role in duck production, noting that late-season rainfall may improve brood survival but won't necessarily influence where birds settle to nest. They also revisit last year's conditions, including below-average pond counts and moderate production, which could translate into slightly lower breeding populations this spring. The episode concludes with their annual “prognostications” for pond counts and duck numbers and a reminder that the prairie landscape continues to drive waterfowl success across North America.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS: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.

Against the backdrop of the current wildfire season, which has ravaged vast areas across states like Utah and Colorado, Chris draws attention to a major human activity causing these fires, particularly the use of fireworks. The discussion is timely, as it coincides with the Fourth of July celebrations, a period notorious for firework-related fire ignitions. Listeners are taken on a journey through a detailed analysis of wildfire statistics and historical data, stressing the pervasive problem of fireworks as a leading cause of fires each year. Chris also shares insights from a significant study published in PLOS One, highlighting July 4th as a peak day for wildland fire ignitions. His narrative is woven with examples of past fire tragedies and current ongoing fires, painting a vivid picture of the dangers facing the desert ecosystems. Ultimately, Chris advocates for alternative ways to celebrate holidays without compromising the natural world, emphasizing stewardship and self-reliance cultivated by the unique desert environment. Key Takeaways: Fireworks are a major contributor to wildland fires, especially on the Fourth of July, causing around 300 wildfires annually in the U.S. The introduction of invasive grasses in desert regions has increased the frequency and spread of wildfires, which were previously rare in these habitats. With current federal firefighting resources strained due to staffing reductions and agency reorganizations, the Southwest faces heightened wildfire vulnerability. Alternative celebrations, such as using organized drone shows in place of fireworks, offer a safer option that aligns with environmental protection goals. Desert communities must balance the spirit of independence with responsible stewardship to preserve and protect their unique ecosystems. Notable Quotes: "We remember the spectacular fires. We forget the thousands of ignitions that didn't become disasters." "The desert has already given us an incredible fireworks show. Thunderstorms over distant mountains, meteor showers, the Milky Way visible in the background of silhouetted Joshua trees."

That extended timeline creates both opportunities and challenges for wetland managers trying to balance habitat for migrating birds, wintering waterfowl, and resident species like mottled ducks.Throughout the episode, a central theme emerges: successful conservation on the Texas coast depends on working lands and the people who manage them. From water timing and vegetation management to infrastructure and long-term habitat design, landowners play a critical role in maintaining the wetlands that waterfowl depend on.This episode offers a comprehensive look at how science, partnerships, and on-the-ground management come together to sustain one of the continent's most important waterfowl regions.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.orgSPONSORS: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.

This week on the Duck Gun Podcast, I'm joined by Chris Williams from Delta Waterfowl to talk about the future of duck hunting and why conservation has never been more important.We dive into the latest breeding survey, habitat loss, duck production, public land access, and the biggest challenges facing waterfowl hunters today. Chris also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at Delta Waterfowl's mission, the work being done to produce more ducks and protect the future of our sport, and what every hunter can do to make a difference.We also preview this year's Duck Hunters Expo, where I'll be attending with the Duck Gun Wild Seasonings booth and recording a live Duck Gun Podcast. If you're planning to attend, you'll hear everything you need to know before you go.

Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.  On today's episode, we are back in the studio with Wesley Steege. We discuss: How Wesley transformed a 40-acre farm into a 150" buck property. Why a small clover plot and water hole changed everything. The habitat improvements he'd make immediately on any new farm. Why buying your first farm creates momentum for the next one. How Kansas became the perfect choice for his second hunting property. The process of finding, negotiating, and purchasing land out of state. Using AI to visualize habitat improvements before breaking ground. Long-term strategies for building equity through land ownership. How Kansas landowner tags influenced his future buying strategy. Lessons learned after owning, improving, and hunting two different farms. And so much more!

Habitat Podcast #392 - In today's episode of The Habitat Podcast, we are back in the studio with Brent Davis! We discuss: Habitat mistakes often become your greatest teachers. Property-specific habitat beats one-size-fits-all advice. Chainsaw work produced Brent's biggest habitat improvements. Direct-seeding acorns can outperform planted trees. Thick woody cover consistently attracted more mature bucks. Switchgrass wasn't the best solution for his property. Access improvements changed how he hunted mature deer. A single community scrape outperformed multiple scrape locations. Trees and shrubs created better long-term habitat value. Habitat success comes from adapting, not following trends. And So Much More!

This episode is made possible by support from the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. Wild turkey numbers rise and fall for a lot of reasons, but better brood habitat may be one of the most practical things landowners can influence right now. In this episode of Blazin' Grazin' and Other Wild Things, Dr. Mark Turner, Oklahoma State University Extension Wildlife Specialist, joins John Weir and Dr. Laura Goodman to talk through what turkeys need after nesting season. They cover poult survival, forb-rich brood cover, cedar encroachment, roost trees, grazing, fescue control, prescribed fire, predator pressure, and why landowners can have a bigger impact than regulation changes alone.

The Ducks Unlimited Podcast is adding a new voice — and a new perspective.In this episode, host Dr. Mike Brasher and co‑host Dr. Jerad Henson introduce Wade Shoemaker, the newest member of the DU Podcast team. Wade brings a fresh, field‑driven perspective rooted in years of experience as a passionate, everyday duck hunter.Growing up in North Louisiana, Wade's journey into waterfowling didn't begin with perfect hunts or polished knowledge — it started like it does for many hunters: borrowed gear, cold mornings, and figuring things out along the way. That path, along with a strong appreciation for community and relationships, shaped his approach to hunting and storytelling.Throughout the conversation, Wade shares how his love for waterfowl expanded from local hunts to traveling across multiple flyways, experiencing different regions, techniques, and cultures. From flooded timber to prairie hunts and coastal marshes, those experiences have given him a broad perspective he now brings to the podcast.The addition of Wade represents a shift toward blending perspectives — combining on-the-ground hunting experience with Ducks Unlimited's science, conservation, and policy expertise. His role will help connect everyday hunters with deeper insights while keeping the conversation grounded in real-world experiences.This episode sets the stage for what's ahead: more stories, more perspectives, and a new connection between the people who hunt and the science and conservation that support it.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.

There's no shortage of health advice. You don't need another supplement, another protocol, or another expert telling you what to optimize. What most people actually need is a better way to organize what already matters. This week I'm sharing the six pillars I've built my health around for the last 30 years of training, competing, raising a family, and running businesses. Not a program. Not a trend. A set of pillars that tested whether the system actually holds. Habitat, mindset, breath, nutrition, movement, recovery, and connection. These aren't new ideas. They're the ones that keep showing up no matter what the research cycle says this week. The goal isn't perfection across all of them. The goal is to know where you are, keep heading in the right direction and how to build your own version - because yours won't look exactly like mine, and it shouldn't.What we explore:- How your external and internal habitat - light, air, self-talk, and unresolved business - shapes your health more than most people realize.- Why mindset only works when it's grounded in your actual values, not the ones you think you're supposed to have.- How to use breath as a practical tool for down-regulation, activation, and recovery without needing a formal practice.- What I eat, how I think about protein and carbohydrates at different life stages, and why I finally went on hormone therapy at 56.- Why connection - starting with yourself - is the most biologically primitive and most neglected pillar of all.Chapters:00:00 Intro01:20 The 6 Pillars That Actually Move the Needle04:28 Small Home Changes That Reduce Your Toxic Load06:01 Align Your Mindset With Your Real Values11:30 Breathwork for Calm, Energy, and Better Sleep16:38 How to Eat for Your Age, Activity, and Life Stage19:41 Intermittent Fasting Rules Are Different for Women22:38 How to Train Hard Without Injuring Yourself28:24 Sauna, Cold Exposure, and Active Recovery Habits32:05 Why Connection Starts With Yourself First34:32 What 30 Years of Marriage Taught Gabby About Honesty37:35 Hamilton House: Living the Pillars With Community–This episode is sponsored by:AX3: Clean supplements, real standards.

Decoy carving lives at the intersection of hunting, history, and personal expression.In this episode, host Katie Burke sits down with Josh Brewer, decoy carver, at the North American Decoy Collectors Association show — a unique gathering where hotel rooms turn into galleries, workshops, and meeting spaces for collectors and artists alike.The conversation explores what it means to make decoys today: balancing tradition with innovation, function with form, and personal creativity with the expectations of collectors. Josh shares how his work has evolved, why simplifying design can be harder than adding detail, and how spending time around real birds continues to shape his craft.They also dig into the process behind building full decoy rigs, the importance of movement and realism on the water, and why carving remains deeply rooted in experience rather than just technique.Along the way, Josh reflects on learning as an artist, raising kids in the craft, and why passing along knowledge matters just as much as producing great work.This episode offers an authentic look at the mindset behind modern decoy carving — and why it remains one of the most meaningful connections between hunters and waterfowl.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.
