Alaska's Wild Wonders: Waterfowl Magazine Issue Released

Original post

Alaska's Wild Wonders: Waterfowl Did you know that waterfowl (ducks, geese, and swans) have a nail on their beak? That they don’t have teeth? That they all have webbed feet? That some nest in holes in trees? That sea ducks can drink ocean water and filter out the salt? Read about all of this and more in the latest issue of Alaska’s Wild Wonders, the ADF&G student magazine, which dives into the world of waterfowl. More than just interesting facts about waterfowl and the ways that scientists that study them, this issue features the amazing artwork of Kim McNett. Her artwork does more than make the pages beautiful – it invites readers to go out into the field themselves, watch waterfowl and make observations, and record them visually in a nature journal. And, it doesn’t just have to be students – anyone could and should read Wild Wonders and try their hand at nature journaling. 🦆 Educators can subscribe to and get a FREE class set of Alaska’s Wild Wonders in the mail each fall (subscribe now for the fall of 2027!). If you missed subscribing in time to get the waterfowl issue, get in touch with regional educators – they have extra copies, first come first serve until they run out.
