Are you fella's seeing alot of birds Migrating back North in yor area. Ive seen ton's of Canada Geese and Tundra Swans and Ducks around here in ( Canada just across the border from Detroit ).
Went for a ride today and seen a small 20 acre field completly full of Tundra Swans, was't a spot in the field without a swan in it. Canada's everywere as well, its funny how smart these Honkers are. Today I watched geese walk into fence rows and outside edges of bushes to eat. You dont see that during the hunting season. Seen hundreds of birds also walking in the yards of Farmers houses, a couple with neck collars too. Again you dont see that very often. Birds sitting down eating grass in the back yards. Should be a good season next year, good population of birds.

[rushcreekganderlander]

Lots of ringnecks hanging around here right now. Just saw my first pair of woodies today.

[rvoight6]

I heard the eastern part of Washington has some good activity going on right now. Sandhill cranes are around

[cnebirds]

Birds are piled up in nebraska still. Canadas, specks, snows and ducks by the thousands and hundreds of thousands

[mike77]

ya man i saw the same fields full of tundra swans. I didnt see any neck collars though. I might take a drive out there again in a few days to see if they are still there. Tons of geese are back at miners too eh.

[nitrousneil]

we dont have alot of geese here yet, weve seen some but not lots. there are a lot of divers out on lake michigan right now.

[southern mn slough slayer]

im from central minnesota and all ive seen is flocks of honkers ranging from two to twenty but i did see Massive flocks of mallards working some fields.

[johnboysmh]

im in delaware and most of the birds are gone. All ya see now are mostly pairs and small groups. Proububly residents. Most of the migrators have left. Very depressing :cry:

[Greg Ruark Jr.]

Majority of birds have left MD as well. A few small flacks and pairing up like a mutha. Not depressing, I hope they make tons o' new ones for next season.

[Greg Ruark Jr.]

I don't care if they're dumb or smart, just want to see ton's of 'em.

[johnboysmh]

im sure ya will with all the resident birds around

[duckhunter101]

there are afew in a lake across the street like 5

[collin-masters]

In central missouri we have a suprising number left working down by the missouri river. But i have seen hundreds of thousands of snows going back up lately. If only the migration hit us sooner and more constantly this year like it did after season :x

[mike2355]

just saw a bunch of swans flying over my house and a few ducks and geese. I almost got the ducks to land since i was just heading out to the garage to practice calling. They buzzed my field then took off.

[GreenHeadRocker]

Just small groups of green heads & geese 2 to 20 birds east central MN. Just cleaned out woodduck houses last weekend. :D

[nitrousneil]

i didnt really think about this earlier, but we still have a ton of ice here it was really cold for a couple of weeks, so the birds probably didnt come through here, we had like 15in. of good ice on most of our lakes. we did have a couple of flocks of sandhills come through though.

[burn1077]

here in upstate ny the birds are dumping in pretty heavy, seems like birds are everywhere, this past weekend my buddies and I were in my back field shooting skeet and messing around with the calls, when we were done we were out in the middle of the snow covered field plain as day picking up our hulls, and a flock came over we started honking at em and before we knew it they were cupped and started circling us, it was sweet, we are planning on doing the same thing as mike77 is going to do, set up and call those things right on top of us

[Gary]

every open pond along I-90 and lake erie in ohio is loaded with divers, also saw a story somewhere about thousands of cans & redheads found dead on shorres of st. clair. thet dnr said it was because of a double in bird populations due to warm weather.

[cornfieldgooser]

Today I saw about 50 or more Sand Hill Cranes, they broke off into another group... they were very low.

[KingsvilleGooseBand]

I heard the same story Gary, about the ducks on Lake St.Clair.

[gastch]

Thought I'd give a word on the duck and geese here on the east coast. The canada geese and mallards just arrived in Sussex NB yesterday. I was talking to a friend of mine and he said there are at least a thousand geese in town and lots of big greenheads. We do alot of hunting in that area and I think I might drive down on the weekend just to take alook and dream for fall.

[PEI Duck Guy]

The geese have been steadliy coming back to PEI from a little over 3 weeks now. :D

[FLHC 1]

Last Saturday and Sunday I saw several hundred in a short period of time, V'd up and flying north.

[BigR]

Central Missouri near Columbia peaked on February 24th....Here in Central, IL near Havana peaked around March 10th

[Gary]

been seeing lots of divers around this past week. two weeks ago it was the geese but they have kinda tappered off in my area.

[moshersports]

I drive three hours a day to and from work between detroit lakes MN and Fargo ND and all I have seen are canadians and a few mallards and a few woodys. No snows at all, My son told me over the weekend that some snows were pushed into southern minnesota do to the last snow storm.

[moshersports]

Just got a snow goose report from a customer of mine, he said the sky was white with snows heading north just west of Fargo ND.

[Renegade Lanyards]

Have been seeing tons of birds lately! Last weekend there were mallards, honkers, and tons of bluebills around east central, MN!

[WhackEmAndStackEm17]

The migration started for us about 3 weeks ago, so I'm not sure if they're migrators or just residents but I've got about 300-500 geese roosting in flooded corn behind my place. Too bad it's not November.

[mnbenelli]

I saw a field the other night holding hundred of mallards and also a lot of Shovelers.

[pro_fowl_hunter]

hey there are alot of shovelers mallards geese canvasbacks buffleheads and alot more there were around 2 hundred ducks and geese behind my house they were to far away to see what the r though in my pond there were like 2 dozen gesse in it

[Wet Feathers]

Theres birds all over here. swans, geese, mallards, ring necks,golden eyes, and I figure very soon woodies. :D

[supernova]

yeeep,, we also got some geese and mallards back here in northern ontario,, seen a group of honkers the other night,, seems early still,, we still have 2 feet of ice on our inland lakes,, but lots of lake huron (the big water) is open.
