Seen some but not a ton. The moon phase is what really gets them moving down. No worries, they'll be here.

we're on the receding side of full (just finished full last week), so another couple of weeks will put us back on the increasing side....

I'm working in Grand Island Nebraska spraying phragmite and have seen literally thousands of blue wings on the Platte River.

I know a guy who is banding ducks in Canada right now. He said a bunch of teal moved out last week. They've banded about three thousand so far.

I saw 7 or so teal in Tallahatchie County last week in a borrow pit that had very shallow water left in it and I saw a dozen or more teal in a little slough that looked like it had irrigation water running in it between Eudora, Arkansas and Lake Providence, LA on Monday.

Took the boat out to run it, and jumped two big groups this morning. One of the groups had a ramzilla mixed in it! :D :D :D

Saw a couple good groups in Ohio. They'll start moving good next week as the moon phase changes.
