Guest Speaker: Kyle Spragens, Waterfowl Section Manager, WDFW

The WDFW Waterfowl Section is responsible for monitoring of waterfowl and other migratory game birds in Washington state to inform conservation and management efforts here in Washington and across the Pacific Flyway. These marking projects are made possible by flyway-level cooperative partnerships. Examples from recent marking projects will be used to highlight the important information that can be learned through these tremendous collaborations and to illustrate some of the amazing stories of migratory connectivity demonstrated by a number of species marked in Washington.
