Noticed the same thing over the last week or so. The birds must be noticing the shorter days! Seen ducks starting to fly in bigger flocks too.

Seeing a little movement over here on the far east side, but nothing like you are seeing to the west.

Lots of specs flying over early this morning, heading South.

I hope a few hang around for the opener.

My brother lives in central Alaska and he said the birds are getting out of dodge. It's freezing and snowing already. Early season might be good. :tup:
