Are Duck Surveys Fake? | ep. 66

In this episode of The Delta Waterfowl Podcast, host Joel Brice sits down with two of the most trusted voices in waterfowl science—Dr. Chris Nicolai, Delta’s Waterfowl Scientist, and Dr. Frank Rohwer, President and Chief Scientist of Delta Waterfowl. Together, they dive deep into the Breeding Population Survey (BPOP)—the backbone of how duck populations are counted and managed across North America.

As questions circulate about the survey’s accuracy and relevance, the Delta team brings their decades of experience to unpack what’s real, what’s misunderstood, and what’s simply wrong. Whether you're a dedicated hunter, conservationist, or outdoor enthusiast, this episode offers valuable perspective on how the waterfowl community should interpret BPOP data—and why it matters.
