Pacific Flyway Center: Robert Eddings on CWA’s Big New Vision
<p>Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with <strong>Robert Eddings</strong>, CWA’s <strong>Vice President of Conservation Programs</strong>, to break down the story behind the new <strong>Pacific Flyway Center</strong>—where the idea came from, what the site will actually be, and why it could become one of the most important public-facing projects CWA has ever taken on. Robert walks through the long runway from concept to construction, how the center ties together conservation, education, and hunting, and why putting that message right on the edge of Suisun Marsh matters for hunters and non-hunters alike.</p><p><strong>Episode highlights</strong></p><ul><li><strong>The origin story</strong> — Robert explains how the Pacific Flyway Center grew out of a long-term vision backed by Ken Hoffman, with the current version really taking shape around 2015, permits signed in 2018, and construction starting in 2024.</li><li><strong>What the site is meant to do</strong> — more than just another property, the center is designed to help tell the full story of wetlands, hunters, conservation, and wildlife to a much broader audience.</li><li><strong>Public access plans</strong> — when it first opens, the walk-in portion is expected to be <strong>free to the public</strong>, with possible fees only coming later if larger museum or interactive components are added down the road.</li><li><strong>How hunting fits in</strong> — the duck club side will stay separate, but the property could support a small number of blinds through CWA’s hunt program, along with youth and education-based hunts that connect new hunters to the bigger conservation story.</li><li><strong>Why this matters beyond hunters</strong> — Robert talks about the rare chance to reach birders, travelers, and everyday Californians who may never hear the hunting-and-conservation connection anywhere else.</li><li><strong>Opening timeline and updates</strong> — the current target for opening is <strong>mid-March 2027</strong>, with updates expected through CWA’s website, eNews, and social media as the project moves forward.</li></ul><p>If you want a look at where CWA is headed—not just in habitat work, but in how it tells the story of waterfowling and conservation—this episode lays it out.</p>

Ep. 121 Dr. Bob McLandress on Building Early CWA
<p>Mallard nesting at Grizzly Island, the story about CWA’s first biologist, and how research, banding, fundraising, and education all took shape</p><p>Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard sit down with <strong>Dr. Bob McLandress</strong>—past CWA president and one of the key figures in the organization’s early growth—for a look back at how California Waterfowl found its footing. Bob traces his path from Canada and Ducks Unlimited into graduate work under <strong>Dennis Raveling</strong> at UC Davis, then into CWA in <strong>1985</strong> as the organization’s <strong>first biologist</strong>—not its first employee, as the old story often goes. From there, the conversation moves through the early <strong>Grizzly Island mallard nesting work</strong>, the discovery of surprisingly high nest densities, the launch of CWA’s first major <strong>banding efforts</strong>, and the way one research project quickly snowballed into fundraising dinners, youth education, development work, and the broader conservation mission the organization carries today.</p><p><strong>Episode highlights</strong></p><ul><li>Bob’s path from <strong>Winnipeg</strong> into waterfowl biology, and how early work in Canada helped set the course for his career.</li><li>The real story behind the long-running myth: Bob was CWA’s <strong>first biologist</strong>, but not its first employee.</li><li>Why the early <strong>Grizzly Island</strong> nesting work changed the conversation around California mallards.</li><li>How CWA’s first banding efforts got rolling—and how those early permits and projects helped build the program that followed.</li><li>What early CWA really looked like: volunteer-driven, underfunded, chaotic, and full of people trying to build something that mattered.</li><li>How one biologist’s job quickly turned into fundraising, education, development, and helping define CWA’s long-term role in California conservation.</li></ul><p>🦆 If you love hearing where this work really started, hit <strong>Follow</strong>, leave a quick review, and share the episode with your blind crew—your support keeps these conversations rolling and the flyway thriving.</p>
