A duck die-off in southern Arkansas brought Dr. Lisa Kercher from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital roaring into camp in her 4-wheel-drive mobile lab the very next morning. We talk about how scientists investigate waterfowl die-offs, what H5N1 means for wild ducks and geese, how influenza spreads among waterfowl and flyways, and the real risks to hunters and our beloved retrievers. A straight look at the science behind bird flu and what it means for duck hunters.
