@fiveoaksresearch: Only a few weeks until the first blue-winged teal start making their way south again. September water is at a premium in Arkansas, so any shallowly flooded field with a little food can become a magnet for squadrons of teal. For landowners and wetland managers, even small amounts of early-season habitat can make a big difference. It’s a reminder that when water is scarce, every acre counts.
