migration 26

[measure-it]

I'm afraid we're in for a major fly-through!

South winds and warm temps i bet its a slow trickle and birds will be here till the end just all spread out with all the new potholes filling back up

I’m at my cabin at Douglas bay and it was a non-stop fight of snows, specks, and cranes going southeast today. Tons of birds moving. From about 9:00 am to 2:00 there were flocks visible literally the entire time.

I hope the boy gets his doe Friday and I maybe get lucky and shot a nice basket rack buck the same day. We'll be done, have a day to get everything butchered, and then I plan on duck hunting as many days as possible until the end of the season.

Definitely was some movement yesterday, saw my first substantial feed (>2000) of snows (of course an NR plate parked watching them) in the 94 corridor and quite a few V's when you looked around the horizon. Still no weather predicted for the next 10+ days even well up into Saskatchewan so hard to know how this will progress.

Solid feed south of Coleharbor Tuesday evening. East side of Hwy 83. Looked like good duck numbers in the air as well.

Still not much around, they have to be in Canada still

It’s plain hot today pouring concrete in a tshirt. Was swatting mosquitoes last night by the slough. Could have shot swans but nothing else around

This has to be one of the latest pushes ever. Not that rare to have a warm November and have birds around until Thanksgiving or later, but usually there has been some sort of cold weather along the way to get some birds to move through, and there really has been none of that. Deer hunted the central part of the state this weekend and there's a few groups of 1-5k snows around but really nothing to speak of when it comes to snows. A few ducks, some dark geese. Seeing some NRs around with decoy trailers, they have to be awfully disappointed.
