I haven't seen any ducks for a couple weeks now, but been seeing geese flying almost every afternoon. I guess the migrators are showing up. I hope they get some cold weather up north and push down a few greenheads around thanksgiving. |

Not much to report here in the ways of numbers of ducks. The local ponds that are easily monitored show no signs other than locals that have been here since the summer. No migrators to speak of. With the looming colder than normal weather pushing in over the weekend, will be interested to see what ducks push in from other areas. I've seen nothing yet to get me excited enough to come out of the deer woods, but hoping that changes soon! |

down my way we never got any signfiicant push of birds all through December. Looking at single digit temps in next few days. Have been on some super out of state huns in Missouri and in Arkansas, but locally it is been a few here and a few there. Been heavy in blackducks last week or so, and down here that usually means the peak of the migration has occurred. If that indicator is true this year, well, l never knew it had started, let alone getting ready to end. |

GN, "I never knew it had started" My frustration exactly. Interestingly this morning with single digits we saw only black ducks and small divers. Saw the largest group of blacks ever 20 birds in a group over the decoys. I mostly see pairs or maybe 4 at a time but never that many. No mallards this morning. Cold weather to the north where are the birds? 2gbl |
