PART 1/2.  Nevada may be the driest state in the Union, but Norman "Norm" Saake has spent a half century--and then some--turning dust bowls into duck country. In this episode, longtime NDOW waterfowl coordinator shares origin stories from the marsh, lessons from thousands of aerial surveys and federal wing bees, and hard-won insights on restoring desert wetlands like Toulon Lake and managing key Pacific Flyway stopovers. We connect science to the blind. Come for the stories; leave with a practical vision for waterfowl's future in the American West.
