John is the Supervisory Biologist for the Klamath Basin Complex for the US Fish and Wildlife. His team is responsible for the biological monitor and management of the wildlife habitat for 6 National Wildlife Refuge in the Klamath Basin in Oregon and California, which is about 250,000 acres. John talks about the struggle for water rights and drought that has led to the terrible avian botulism outbreak killing an estimated 40,000 plus waterfowl. This area is a key place for waterfowl to nest and raise their young, so California Waterfowl Association and other organizations are working hard to fix this issue that could effect the whole pacific flyway.
