Very surprising IMO, nothing really for the bright side in hopes especially after a very mild winter. Winter migration looking in question again for the east side on paper. Mallards took a small fall to my surprise hoping to see their numbers to significantly increase from 2024.
"Breeding Waterfowl Survey, the estimated breeding duck population stands at 33.98 million. Breeding population nearly identical to 2024, but dry prairie conditions likely suppressed duck production."
