Dr. @mgbrasher is joined by Tennessee Technological University's Dr. Abby Blake-Bradshaw and Dr. Nick Masto for their long-awaited discussion about the study we've all heard about—the wintering ecology of mallards in the Mid-South. Check out 'Ep. 582 – Studying Mallard Ducks in Western Tennessee' and 'Ep. 583 – Bumping Birds: What Are We Learning About Ducks, Sanctuary, and Hunters?' wherever you access podcasts.
