Migration is in full swing across the prairies, and the reports coming from the heart of waterfowl country are encouraging.

Dr. Mike Brasher, DU's Senior Waterfowl Scientist, sits down with John Pollmann, DU Migration Alert Editor, to discuss the latest habitat conditions, migration activity, and hunting success across Prairie Canada and the northern United States.

Good water and strong bird numbers have hunters enjoying consistent success across much of Prairie Canada, while drier conditions on the U.S. prairies have led to more scattered birds and uneven hunting. Mike and John discuss the latest migration activity and what current conditions could mean for hunters farther down the flyway.
