Episode 03

Are you a duck hunter or waterfowl enthusiast? Are you tired of seeing ducks and not knowing what species they are? Is it time to improve your skillset or perhaps teach other sportsmen and women or simply pass down the tradition of duck hunting to the next generation?

I have found that a lot of men and women that have hunted with me over the years have struggled in this area of bird identification. When it comes to hunting migratory birds year after year, I have to be spot on with my bird ID before myself or my clients pull the trigger. Over-the-bag-limit situations are an easy way to costly fines from wildlife law enforcement. I thought it was time I brought in my good friend Johnny D of Backwater Outdoors Life and his partner, retired wildlife biologist from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, Dave Odell, to introduce their new interactive training series, Professor Duck's Waterfowl Identification Series.

Watch listen and learn as 30 year wildlife biologist David Odell, a.k.a. "Professor Duck" teaches waterfowl identification skills like you’ve never experienced before!

The Professor Duck video series teaches you how do identify individual duck species by their wing colors, characteristics, flight patterns and sounds.

This training series will give you the knowledge to help you identify birds in flight, on the water, resting or in the bag.

So listen in, sharpen those skills and never “look” at a duck the same way again!
