The weather guys were off just a bit this morning. They said the wind wasn't going to blow hard until early afternoon. Boy were they wrong. We had 15 mph when we sat down and soon after 20-25. Almost too much! About 8AM we got a show from the ducks. I almost couldn't believe my eyes. With huge North winds, all the ducks were flying North from the South. Have no idea where they were all coming from but there were thousands flying overhead for about 1 1/2 hours. There are a large amount of birds, both ducks and geese roosting in the area, I suspect they all went out for the morning feast last night or early this morning and what we were seeing was their return to the roost. The reason I say that is because they flew North into the winds and never returned our way.
The weather is definitely turning, the lows are getting in the teens and the highs are barely reaching 30. We had no ice this morning which was a little surprising, but I'm pretty sure that luxury is over. Snow and West/NWest winds forecast for Saturday with 100% chance of precipitation. May be a bit sticky as the rain portion of the precip is due to start tomorrow night and go pretty much all the way through Saturday. There are plenty of waterfowl around, if you're into scouting and chasing there is plenty to do. If you're in a spot waiting for "new" birds, it's probably going to happen this weekend.
The season is winding down but at the same time "heating" up. There is plenty of shootin' left if you're up for it. That's all for now, check back for the latest and greatest.
