In the latest episode of our Discover Moose Jaw News Podcast, our reporter Cameron Koch discusses migratory birds and the incredible cross-continental journeys they take each year with USask professor Dr. Mitch Weegman, the Ducks Unlimited Canada Endowed Chair in Wetland and Waterfowl Conservation.
They go over topics including which species winter in Saskatchewan vs traveling south, how scientists track individuals and groups, the impact of transforming virtually the entire prairie habitat for agricultural purposes, and how migratory birds are adapting in response to a changing climate.
