The Forbes Biological Station in Havanna, Illinois, is North American’s oldest inland wildlife research station. Over its 130-year history, it has become one of our greatest sources of scientific information for waterfowl ecology and management. In this episode, Dr. Mike Brasher visits with current staff of the Station – Dr. Auriel Fournier, Josh Osborne, and Therin Bradshaw – to celebrate the 130-year anniversary; pay tribute to its pioneering leaders of the name Forbes, Bellrose, Havera, and others; and reflect on the Station’s contributions on topics including wood ducks, migration ecology, aerial surveys, lead poisoning, sanctuary management, wetland management, foraging ecology, and new research on duck foods and the effect of hunting disturbance on bird movements. And hear also what it’s like to flip through the pages of an 84-year-old field notebook of Dr. Frank Bellrose.
