Migration 24

[Kurtr]

A few snows down here and some specks. A bunch of cranes showed up yesterday. Little to nothing for ducks. Got my ass kicked last weekend a few stale birds and fog

There must be a million snows on the Zahl refuge north of Williston I was putting on some frac trees north of there and on the way home the pond was completely white

I agree between Zahl and Wildrose area I would say we seen close to million birds this weekend. Its amazing the noise a big flock of snows can make. Its almost deafening when we were just on the other side of a pond from a large flock walking for deer.

I saw a ton of snow geese by Karlaruhe and Max last weekend.

I've got a video on my phone from yesterday I would like to post on here but don't know how.

drove to sterling today on 94 and between Menoken and sterling were 10 of thousands of geese. I have a nearly 2 minute video of continuous flock of geese and I was driving 80mph, They were right south of 94. I will try to load the video if I can figure it out.

It'll probably be blurry. Get a youtube account and post it there, then link it.

Snows everywhere on both sides of Hwy 200 from Bowdon to Hurdsfield. A few flocks of ducks mixed in.

Sad to say: more cranes showing up, but the ND sandhill season closed Sunday, 11/10.

had a lot of problems this last week with people jumping the roosts east of washburn to turtle lake. Hard to believe people wake up in the morning or travel hundreds of miles to go jump roosts... but to each there own. hopefully things quiet down soon. it is completely crazy this year the number of out of staters. never see anything quite like it. love the east coast folks that visit so far, but our neighbors to the east a state or two.....ugh

Crane migration used to peak the first week of grouse season in SD. Now it’s well into November. Pretty wild.

No Crane season would hit it prime the week of N.D. Teachers Convention and week after. So the 3rd and 4th week of Oct. But I agree, this is a different fall.

That is pretty much how it’s been every year I remember by pheasant season they are all gone. Must have got a ouch last night seen my first real spin of mallards tonight that got me excited

Looks like next week its going to finally get cold, should be good until the end.

 

[Traxion]

Model runs last night had single digits on Dec 1st. Now they’re saying 40’s. Not sure what to think.

 

[bravo]

Snows are thick and easy to find right now but I still haven’t seen any real duck tornadoes.

 

[riverview]

there's a lot of waterfowl along the mb and sask border.
