Keeping Consumers Safe
Two bird species – black duck and wild turkey – are incredibly important to the regions where they are commonly found.

Mitch Weegman, an assistant professor in the School of Natural Resources, is looking to track both species’ whereabouts during that timeframe. Pictured here are turkey poults.
