saw waves of whitewing coming off fresh harvested wheat at Uvalde late May
now milo is being combined and early corn also..
plus there's lotsa the large sunflowers starting to ripen around here and later there's some sesame gonna be ready (not as much as past yrs, tho)
plenty of food and time for one more hatch
W of SA
and as always, San Antonio proper has stupid amts that'll never hear a gun-blast..

47 now and things are looking good
It's looking good here in North Texas, water being scarce will concentrate them to food nearest water as well, so looks to be a good one, plenty of local birds and Eurasians right now, and storms in Midwest will send them in soon

I don't know much about NTx doves, but the last 15 or so yrs W of SA
WW doves can be flocking bigger than blackbirds..
usually by late Aug, early Sept the whitewings from Amarillo, Lubbock, Abilene and Angelo plus probably some DFW birds drop on us here..
now we have adapted to these birds showing up and made
arrangements to entice and keep them here...Yuma Az calls itself the dove capitol of USA...
I'll contest that.

Yes you're right it was udamdan. I always looked forward to the countdown. yah I've seen a lot of y'alls posts over the years.
I just joined a 2,000 acre dove club with max out outfitters outside of Katy. First year they've done a dove lease on this property. I'm pretty excited.

Yes right in that area. I see them daily right there and off 130 over by 35 around Georgetown exits. I see large groups of white wings from 35 and 130 to like exit 421 if I remember correctly. Then again coming into San Antonio around the schertz exit off i10

Re: 59 more days - 08/22/18 07:59 PM
Just read an encouraging report of plenty of white wings in Hutto, and off of toll 130 area near Georgetown.
I must be looking in the wrong areas because I'm still not really seeing anything to get excited about.

Re: 59 more days - 08/22/18 08:31 PM

Re: 59 more days - 08/22/18 08:34 PM
seen couple thousand when I scouted my spot 2 days ago. They were clumped up good though. Heavy on the power lines and pecan orchards. Mostly mournings from what I could tell.
Numbers seem way down for us....

I'm so ready. Not seeing a lot of birds on our place just north of Katy, but as is often the case, they mysteriously show up on opening day.
