Do you care if you are eider cold or warm? Here is WILDFOWL’s Fowl Fact Friday!
The common eider’s scientific name— Somateria mollissima—translates to mean “softest down body.” Somateria comes from Greek meaning “down body” and mollissima is Latin for “softest.”
Scientists have documented evidence that humans have been using eider down since around the 7th century! They were even favored by the Vikings for their warmth on the cold water.

Episode 48 of The WILDFOWL Podcast is now live!
In this episode, we're talking with waterfowl biologist Dr. Chris Nicolai of Delta Waterfowl, (dubbed “The Indiana Jones of Waterfowling" in a 2020 feature story). One of our favorite stories to ever run in WILDFOWL Magazine tells of a dedicated waterfowl warrior who has deployed airplanes, helicopters, and net-guns to study waterfowl and lived right among nesting goose colonies. Don’t miss his tales of snoring pintails, the state of bird banding, avian flu, decoy carving, and the Duck Factory’s current status heading into the breeding season.

The WILDFOWL Podcast EP_46
In episode 46 of the WILDFOWL Podcast, host Skip Knowles is on-scene in Alberta with MOJO Outdoors and Hidden Prairie Outfitters. It’s the thrilling end of the snow goose migration, where millions of geese fuel up on grain and stage before “leaping the trees” on the long flight to the tundra where they breed. Learn why the geese drop their guard and adult birds become so much more cooperative to decoy, and just why this may be the ultimate destination for superior snow goose hunting. The gang also tries out some new snow goose motion decoy prototypes and discuss the idea with Terry Denmon, the mastermind behind the MOJO magic.

Ducks usually migrate at an altitude of 200 to 4,000 feet but are capable of reaching much greater heights. In fact, a 1954 mountaineering expedition to Mount Everest discovered a pintail skeleton at an elevation of 16,400 feet!
