Published: July 20, 2023, 5 a.m.

Sarah Fleming, DU’s Director of Conservation Programs for the Northeastern U.S., gives an update on habitats in eastern North America, including the Great Lakes, eastern Canada, and northeastern U.S. Conditions were mostly fair to good as the breeding season got underway, but drought has since developed in some locations. Sarah also updates on wildfire conditions across Canada and provides scientific insight on whether we should expect fires to have noticeable impacts on breeding ducks this year.
