The Longest Recorded Bird Migration: 11 days of non-stop flight

The first season of the North American Waterfowl Show features some of the craziest band stories we’ve heard. We’ve got a series of episodes coming from finding rare bands, to the origination of banding to the longest migration on record. We recorded them in 2021, but are finally getting around to releasing them. These episodes will available to download, stream and watch. This podcast is about a banded bird that flew for 10 straight days! When we recorded this podcast in 2021, the longest bird migration record had just been broken and it sat at 10 days. It was broken again in 2022 (11 days) by a bird of the same species after this podcast was done.

NAWP: Back-Packed Mallards with Bruce Davis

If you’ve ever shot a band in Minnesota – or anywhere along the Mississippi Flyway, you might recognize the name Bruce Davis. Bruce is the head of the banding program with the Minnesota DNR. In recent years he started putting gps transmitters, or “backpacks” on mallards to learn their habits from when they migrate out of state, how far they go, what time they feed and what type of fields they’re using. We talked to Bruce about what he’s learned so far. The first season of the North American Waterfowl Show features some of the craziest band stories we’ve heard.
