Duck Season Somewhere
Episode • May 12 • 1h 28m

From rugged Atlantic marshes to southern wintering grounds, Ted Barney lays out the story of the American black duck—where they go, how they survive, and why they matter. A long-time Canadian Wildlife Services biologist, Barney uses hard data, field insights, and decades of banding to reveal what separates black ducks from the rest. Habitat battles, breeding and wintering distributions, migrational trends, mallard competition and hybridization, habitat, and the realities of managing a truly iconic waterfowl species.
