Welcome to Episode 12 of the podcast, where we dive into the fascinating world of duck research and conservation with Carey Egeland, Director of Regional Operations at Delta Waterfowl. Carey and Danny both worked as field technicians for Delta Waterfowl in their college years and have had hands on experience with the research that Delta has been conducting for many years.

We also discuss Delta Waterfowl's innovative strategies for increasing duck populations, such as predator management and hen houses which is how they plan to make a MILLION DUCKS! Carey shares insights into the challenges of balancing conservation goals with the needs of hunters and the broader community.
