Each year, approximately 10 million waterfowl fly north to their breeding grounds in North America’s Prairie Pothole region, but the landscape that welcomes them has changed.
Weather patterns and agricultural practices have significantly transformed pothole-strewn native grasslands that waterfowl have used for thousands of years.
These changes caused some waterfowl to multiply while others became extinct.
