And we're paddling up the Missouri River at the mouth near St.

Louis.

And all of a sudden, this bald eagle starts swooping down on the river.

It's like, oh, wait, he's trying to get something.

And he swooped twice and he didn't get it.

And we're trying to see what was he going after.

And, you know, we're paddling upstream and the water is coming downstream.

And we realized it was a baby duckling.

that was getting attacked by this bald eagle.

And this baby duckling literally jumped into our boat for protection from this bald eagle.

So that was pretty incredible.

I've never experienced anything like that before.

So we brought the duckling back over to the shore.

The bald eagle kind of got scared away by our boats.

And so the duckling survived the moment.

But that was one certainly incredible moment we had.

Well, yeah.

So we're using tracking data on animals, which tells us incredible detail about where they're going.

This technology has gotten so much better over the last decade that we can really see how they're moving around.

And in this case, we're able to pair it up with tracking data on humans, which has not been really wisely available to really look at the details and the impact.
