Migration Mounting

A steady stream of Ducks and Geese the last two days has got to be a sign from up North.  The ducks have been pretty steady and a few geese were seen and heard today.  I just let the hound out for a bathroom break before bed-time and I heard two different groups of Can's in about 10 minutes.  Again, has to be another sign.  At night you can usually hear the "carp" but rarely the Can's.
Received one report from the South Ditch today and the birds were high flyin' and not playing.  The fellas went out just after lunch time, when the wind switched.  They rolled in and could see the geese sitting on the pond.  After a quick peak through the "spotting eyes" it was determined that 50 or so geese were waiting for them.  Enter "the great Sneak of 2010."  We've all done it.  Tried to sneak up on some geese, or ducks, as we're getting to our ditches.  I believe the last time I checked, Vegas odds were about 240:1 that a successful sneak would happen.  Too many eyeballs seeing too much movement.  After a well thought out plan of attack, they arrived at the parking garage undetected, and the sneak begins.  Got within 100 yds of the group and there they go.  Oh well, kept the blood boiling while the cold north wind was blowing.  In case you haven't been watching the weather, here's a run down for the next week in Aberdeen SD.  They are gonna be comin'.  That's all for now.
