Are there birds around Jamestown ND?

I have a hunting trip planned for this weekend/all next week. Just wondering if there are birds around the Jamestown area? Any info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

You are for sure to see birds out there, I am in fargo and there are a decent amount of birds here which usually means that there are a lot of birds out there when fargo is getting birds.

You're talking Waterfowl, right?

You should be able to find waterfowl in and around there... If you were looking for pheasants I would point you in a slightly different direction.

YA i was up in the alamo area of ND last spring there where lots and lots of ducks and pheasants

I mean LOTS ducks...everything from teal to green heads mallard canvas back you name it

pheasants all over the place

i have no reason to believe they still wouldnt be there

small ponds all over the place up there

the owner of the land we were working on told me pheasants were down some...i laughed

I've been hunting pheasants in the central portion of the state for the past few days and there is waterfowl EVERYWHERE. I'm also seeing lots of flocks cruising south, but today I saw as many geese as I've seen in a long time. The wheat fields are just lousy with Canadians and snows right now.

They are hinting are some winter weather heading in later this week, so you may want to keep your eye on that. I think I'll be scooting back to MN on Fri as it's nipping on my heels.

Remember that its the ND Deer opener this weekend and it may be tougher to find land to hunt. I don't know that I'd like to be laying out in a field during deer hunting when you know almost every vehicle that drives by has a high powered rifle. Make sure you keep some blaze orange very handy so you can take it out if needed.

Saw a lot of geese along I-94 in the Steele/Tappen area today on the way back to MN. With the heavy fog and low clouds it looked like you could reach out and grab one.
