No doubt.
I was out today north of Henderson in this ducky weather with the basin on one side, rice fields and crawfish ponds on the other. One lonely wood duck flying down the canal and got a brief glimpse of a flock of unidentified's working a field, that's it. Other times I've been out in this same area between teal and big duck and we'd watch many bunches of BW skimming the water down the middle of the canal. Today's experience in this area is worryingly reminiscent of last year.
Spoke this morning with a fellow who's usually fantastic piece to your SW sucked for teal this year and heard it's now loaded with teal and big ducks, including lots of pins.
But I saw exactly five mottleds and two bluewings on a tour of our marsh this morning...
