In July, we received a bunch of great submissions for our media contest. Below is just a sampling of what our field personnel were able to capture, including the winning entry, video shot by Cecilia Huizar. “I feel lucky to say that this is what we get to do every morning,” says Cecilia. “Here is my crew lead, Liz (Elizabeth Muntean), placing a band on a canvasback duck. After the band is secured and measurements have been taken, we give them a lift by tossing them in the air and off they go. Ducklings, on the other hand, we don’t want to separate them from their mother so we release them at the same time, as seen in the last portion of the video.”
