Was just thinking about how early we are running and wondering if the honkers are going to try to nest earlier then normal. Not sure if egg laying is triggered by available habitat or amount of sunlight or some combination of both. The reason this struck me is this leaves them wide open to loosing there nest to a storm. Few years back we lost almost all the nest along the river when we got ten inches of snow right in the middle of egg laying. They were unable to get back to their nests so ended up dropping eggs all over where ever they happened to be standing when the egg of the day came. On a good note if they make it we won't have to worry about them not being able to fly come opening day.
