The Feathered Report: Drones, Ducks, and Conservation Wins

In this episode we dive into the latest headlines from the upland and waterfowl world. Illinois hunters, take note—open houses are coming up in May to shape your hunting seasons. We also highlight groundbreaking research at UW-Stevens Point, where drones with thermal cameras are revolutionizing how we monitor waterfowl populations. Then, it’s a feel-good story out of Minnesota, as nearly $1 million and 40 acres are donated to Pheasants Forever to support local habitat conservation. Finally, we wrap with a major wetland restoration effort on Texas’s Gulf Coast, bringing life back to prairie potholes and boosting biodiversity. Learn more about your ad choices.
