Spring Snows 2023

[Kurtr]

Well they are pilled up in Nebraska and starting to hit the southern part of Sodak around yankton. Seeing how the snow line is I think the first week of April they will be in my area and with the amount of snow north and east we might get them hanging around for a bit. should have some sheet water this year.

Think of digging the trailer out a snow drift and heading south the first week of April.. Much for sheet water around? I might toss the floater spread in also

I had a flock of about 15 honkers eating out in the field across from the house yesterday up here by Stanley ND... really made me hopeful that spring might actually show up sometime soon.

They just may end up breeding in SD this year if we keep getting snow.

I spent 5 days in mitchell s.d. last week. We saw snow geese everyday. Not alot, 2-3 small flocks a day. Didn't see any on the ground tho

Going to be about 3 weeks before ND sees any. I think they will follow the river this year

They are going to push back south with all the snow coming this week and next week.

See alot of canadian geese in central ND. Right with weather coming in next week might keep them more south. If they do come this way good luck finding food

I heard geese yesterday running the dog in Bismarck. Could have been those that inhabit the river or just the dumb ones.

Lots of honks here. snow geese still 200 miles south. Hoping the honkers just stay and set up shop around here make for a great early season

So much snow and everthing frooze all winter was hard on them. Tailrace down to Stanton south is open now

Isn’t that why they migrate south

There were a decent few birds around chamberlain this last weekend while fishing. But a bunch of snow coming to that area and a solid snow line north. Once spring finally comes they’re going to go in a hurry!

they are all sorts of confused up here. no place to land, eat, fornicate or lay eggs.

Actually, it's open all the way down to about 12 miles north of Bismarck as of yesterday. Could have used a little bit of sunlight this afternoon. I'm guessing the river will be open in Bismarck come Monday'ish.

Sure do talking about them on way back was thread, snows will hold out till water opens and some of this white stuff melts here in central ND
