Vote for Dave - The OL 25's People of the Year

VOLUNTEER WATERFOWL BANDER AND DUCK BOX TENDER


Michigan native Dave Brower works for the state's Department of Natural Resources, but he's not a scientist. He's a volunteer with a passion for banding ducks, which he learned from a friend who worked with the DNR. For more than 15 years, Brower has devoted his time and resources to maintaining his 190 duck boxes, determined to band as many hens as possible.

They maintain probably 25 boxes throughout our river bottom every year and have had tremendous success. They have had ducks coming back to the same boxes for over 3 years in a row, flying down to the southern states in the fall and returning in the spring.
