wood ducks...?

Are y'all seeing many wood ducks this year? The places I hunted, in years past, were covered up with woodies to the point they were almost nuisances. This year, I bet I saw maybe 10 wood ducks flying. It continues a trend of fewer woodies that I have noticed for several years now. That really concerns me.
What about you guys?

Is there any other kind of duck?
If it weren't for woodies I wouldn't have a season. I don't notice any less.
I do notice that they do not stand hunting pressure and move.

We had a bunch in Quiteman County up until two weeks ago. I guess they have moved south... Did not see any this weekend.

Saw more this year in the early season than the past three seasons. They bugged out around Christmas. Only seen a few since then. Went to a spot where they always roost throughout the season just to check it out. No ducks at the roost.

Didn't see as many early but have tons of them now in our swamp holes.
They have saved a lot of skunkings the past few weeks.
