Turning Down the Stress - Bob Armstrong's Nature Alaska

https://vimeo.com/209995184

Turning Down the Stress is a video taken at the Fish Creek Estuary that is part of the Mendenhall Wetlands in Juneau, Alaska.
In this estuary we have noted a high percentage of the mallards and other waterfowl that use the wetlands come here to rest and feed. It certainly is one of the most important areas for waterfowl associated with the Mendenhall Wetlands.
The wetlands are also a popular spot for people to walk their dogs. We frequently have noticed over the years that dogs off lease often chase birds on the wetlands.
This video is mean't as an introduction to this problem and hopefully will be used to open up a discussion.
To learn more about this problem look at Dogs, Wildlife and Wildlife Viewing by the Juneau Audubon Society.
