EP 251. Who--or What--Eats Wood Ducks?

Published: May 30, 2022, 9:30 a.m.

It's been a long while since Ramsey and today's guest, Brian Davis, attended Mississippi State University together. Davis earned master's and PhD degrees studying breeding and brood rearing wood ducks and other aspects of wood duck ecology.\xa0 Now an Associate Professor of Wildlife Ecology at MSU, Davis describes his duck hunting origins before pitching into wood duck predation (you ain't going to believe it), other interesting findings such as "legacy lead" in various habitats and how the wildlife-related student body has evolved since Ramsey roamed his alma mater's hallways. Davis is an extremely entertaining and well-informed storyteller. Y'all are absolutely going to love this episode---and will be left wondering how in the world wood ducks continue to even exist with so many different mouths to feed!
