Spring and summer are all about getting the next generation raised and preparing them for the migration they will take in winter. Nesting habitat along with ample food for ducklings and goslings is critical to keep numbers stable or increase them for the betterment of the species.

Great news on the national level for conservation!

Breaking News: On April 30th, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 224-200 to pass H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2026, otherwise referred to as the 2026 Farm Bill. 🌾

If passed by Congress, H.R. 7567 would be the first full Farm Bill passed by Congress since the last iteration expired in 2023. Included in this bill are several key conservation and public access programs championed by the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation and partners. The private lands provisions contained within the Farm Bill’s Conservation Title create tremendous opportunities to promote wildlife habitat management and, thanks to programs like VPA-HIP, public hunting and angling access on private lands.

The American Black duck is expanding it's range with the decline in mallard populations along the east coast. One of my favorite birds to hunt!
