Take A Number -- How Population Growth Affects Hunters and Anglers by Michael FurtmanArticles off-site (Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine):
RETOOLING MINNESOTA'S DUCK FACTORY: Global climate trends indicate the prairies of the Dakotas, where as much as 50% of North America's prairie nesting ducks are raised, will become drier, while Minnesota's prairie will get wetter. Can Minnesota pick up the slack in duck production if this occurs? Here's a feature article I wrote for the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine that examines this issue.
THE ALPHA ACCIPTER: I didn't write this article March/April issue of the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine, but I was the principal photographer for the story. Photographing the secretive and aggressive goshawk while they were nesting was a great challenge! Click on the "Goshawk Encounters" video link when you get to the Volunteer magazine page for a chance to see and hear a goshawk.
