Lots of Quail, mostly late hatch.  Pheasants are obissmal.  Chucks somewhere in between.  I've heard both sides of the coin for them.  Ducks, no idea

I have seen only the local geese going from the river to the fields and a handful of ducks on the river. I have not checked the refuges yet to see if they have been flooded. With the cold spell we have been having this week I'm crossing my fingers some ducks will be moving through the area.

If you ask me you will need to make every shot count if you want something in the bag.

The only thing the cold spell here is doing is pushing the local birds out.  Until it gets colder up north and the snow flies up there it just hurts down here.

And as for numbers, I've been all over Eastern WA from Wilbur to Banks, to Yakima, Vantage, Tri-Cities, Moses lake, etc in the past few weeks and havent seen much of anything.
