    Ep. 667 - wildturkeyDNA — A Ground-Breaking Study of Wild Turkey Genetics

    Matt Harrison is joined by renowned wild turkey scientist Dr. Mike Chamberlain (@wildturkeydoc) and Dr. Mike Brasher to announce wildturkeyDNA, a new partnership that will enlist hunters in the study of wild turkey genetics. Building from the success of duckDNA, this exciting project brings together DU, Wild Turkey Lab, National Wild Turkey Federation, Low Country Game Bird Foundation, and the University of Texas at El Paso around a shared interest in science to inform conservation. Year 1 will focus on collecting tissue from harvested turkeys having unique or odd plumages to understand the origin of these beautiful birds. Are they color morphs of wild turkeys or do they originate from heritage breeds? Tune in to hear how you can participate and learn about additional questions that will be answered in future years.  Visit www.wildturkeyDNA.com and follow the team on Instagram and Facebook (@wildturkeydna) for updates and announcements.

    Ep. 666 - America's Birds Continue to Decline, but Conservation Can Work

    The U.S. State of the Birds is a report developed every 2–3 years by a veritable who’s who of bird-related agencies and organizations. The goal is to provide an update on the status and health of America's birds, to celebrate successes, highlight concerning trends, and inspire solutions for the widespread challenges our feathered friends are facing. The 2025 report builds on past reports but again documents widespread declines across nearly every bird group. While ducks and wetland birds remain above historical levels, demonstrating the success of partner-based conservation, recent drought-induced declines remind us of the importance of not letting off the gas. In this podcast crossover episode, American Birding Podcast host Nate Swick welcomes Mike Brasher of Ducks Unlimited and the Ducks Unlimited Podcast, Amanda Rodewald of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and Bradley Wilkinson of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies to talk about the report and what birders and hunters can do to support bird science and conservation.Listen now: www.ducks.org/DUPodcastSend feedback: DUPodcast@ducks.org
