Deep in the dog days of summer, Michael and Lesley have done some rice travel, taking along their trusty field recorders. First, Lesley attended the Eagle Lake, TX field day where she caught up with Kirby Brown and other Ducks Unlimited experts to talk drought, water management, and wildlife.

With special guests: Kirby Brown, Dennis Neuman, Raul Villarreal, and Stephen Rockwood from Ducks Unlimited, and Steve Lerch, StoryArc Consulting
