It seems to me that the first major push of "northern" birds happens a week or ten days later than 30 years ago - moving from the first week of November to near mid-month.

That said saw the first swans of the year Sunday as they checked out the snow geese decoys.  Also saw the the first buffleheads of the year yesterday ; two pairs of with fully colored drakes.  Both would indciate that the so-called migration is more or less on time; at least as compared to recent years.

I never check their immigration status; better to leave that to Eric Holder and Janet Napolitano.  They are keeping our borders safe.  :P

 :yeah:hunted the potholes last weekend shot 4 teal and saw maybe 25 mallards in 4 hours of hunting. Wait another two weeks at least for a northern push of birds.
