SandHills,Ducks and Geese

Well, I honestly have to say, that I have never seen so many Ducks and Geese in this area at this time of year. I fact, a bunch of us had to hit the brakes for a pair of SandHills standing in the middle of the Highway today at noon! Anyone else seeing a whole lot of birds around that normally aren't here? We'er seeing puddlers and a LOT of Divers

Yeah this warm spell lately seems to have the birds stirring around more. Fields are thawing out and the birds are hitting them again. Been seeing a good mallard flight in the mornings/evenings where I used to be seeing geese. About 2 dozen have called the creek behind my office home for the winter.

I was on my way to madison last night and could not beleive all the mallards in the sky yet. I bet I saw at least a thousand. There were flock after flock.

My buddie down by Madison says he is seeing mallards by the thousands same with the geese. My snowgoose guide down in Nebraska says there are no birds down there. Par for the course. No birds here when season is in full swing. And now the end of January we are loaded full of them.
