Anyone else noticing the intensity of this years migration? Have seen thousands upon thousands the last few days. Like they are all coming at once and are in a hurry to do so. This usually lasts a few weeks but it can't at this pace.

There won't be another frost with these numbers, maybe close but not a hard one.

Can we all agree that winter is over?

There are parts of several of them in my freezer. They won't be making the trip this year.

I suspect this is not the winter migration (north to south), this is spring migration as they head back north.

I love to eat duck, but I'll stomp over a hundred yards of duck to get at a sandhill.

Too many signs that spring is here to believe otherwise. No more freezes

Smart birds. That ribeye ain’t easy.

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,
And greedily devour the treacherous bait.

one of the few things I enjoyed while living two years in Brownfield Tx. Crane hunting was great.

Look! Up in the sky. It's a bird. It's a plane. No, it's an EMP!

I had over 100 grey rags to use as decoys , big flocks would totally ignore my spread . Small groups of a dozen or so would come in.
Compared to doves , they looked like Cessnas on the final flight pass.
