I drive for a living. We re going north east up to Philadelphia now. The ducks and geese have made it to Arkansas. Everything north and east of there is ice freezing Temps and snow. Can't wait to get back home this week and hunt. The birds hopefully will be making their ways south.

we need long stretches of cold that freeze big lakes to get birds to migrate. they can handle the toughest of blizzards for a few days

I sure hope Jan weather produces the temps we needed north of Dallas for us. Tulsa and OklahomaCity have some below freezing lows coming up, but the highs getup in the 40s.
Was up in Minnesota for Christmas, rivers are open, no snow cover on the fields. There are thousands and thousands of Mallards and geese still hanging out up there.
Yep I was up in MN as well and saw just the same. It's going to continue to be a slow year I think

So if the potholes were on the left there was ducks, but not on the right?

Up vs Down issue... not left vs right. Right?
Or North vs South, not East vs West.

Southern Oklahoma is experiencing some low temps this weekend. Hopefully it will push some birds down for the last few weeks of the season.
