Population Boom Lets Ducks Jam Radar At Midwest Airports
North American duck numbers surged 30 percent due to wet cycles and the federal Conservation Reserve Program. Officials cite above average prairie pothole moisture and improved nest cover as key factors, with millions of birds suddenly moving south when cold fronts hit, causing radar blips over Des Moines Omaha and Kansas City.

Welfare reform compromise allows immigrants Pell grants
Congress abandons a ban on Pell grants for lawful immigrants in welfare reform, while seeking to restrict Head Start access for young legal aliens. The House Senate conference dropped the Pell grant ban after college objections, though concerns remain about loan co signers and broader education aid amid Clinton administration veto threats. Immigrant student access drew support from Rep. Clay Shaw and university leaders, who warn new loan safeguards may hinder eligibility and reflect a shrinking frontier for the Statue of Liberty's promise.
