Curious to know if your late season mallards have shown up ?
Very unusual year for our area
Seems to be not many ducks at all this season.

Past couple weeks has been lights out for Mallards in my area
Yesterday evening Dec 19
Attachment 44745
Took my boat out for the season last week and spooked up two large flocks of Mallards ; first one was about 200 birds and the second was about 500 birds. Both were inside the Unit at Long Point and heard stories of guys pounding the Redheads at the head of the bay. Lots of geese and Tundra swans out in the fields but the Sandhill cranes must be in full migration !
Some around I guess. Not using the corn fields like usual here.
thanks
i expect to see the bulk of the last migrators at the very end of the season. likely when goose ends in most wmus. its been quite warm this year.
So many factors to consider regarding the migration of birds. Food source, open water, weather, magnetic forces, amount of daylight, the stars and probably so much more.
