This year AWA is banding and releasing 1700 mallards in honor of Mr. Seth Thomas Barkley,
a 21 year old Marshall County Waterfowler that hunts at Farm 101 a waterfowl habitat project
under the Wetland Reserve Program with the USDA, in Jackson County. Seth was killed in a
tragic car accident in March of 2017 on 431 near Albertville, Alabama when the jeep he
was driving hydro planed turned over in a creek and he drowned.
Seth’s dad Mr. Wayne Barkley, said “Seth was so interested in waterfowl hunting and
was a model young man, that loved not only hunting ducks, but working for waterfowl
habitat and conservation”.
In lieu of flower Seth’s family and friends donated money to help raise, band and
release 1,700 mallard to carry on Seth’s legacy and interest that Seth so enjoyed.
