I am looking for help to establish a network of waterfowl reports.

Some of you that would be willing to be a part of the migration reporting team. Please join the team here and provide any observations and reports from your area.

I was out pheasant hunting today and saw a few flocks of mature snows and blues. We also saw a pair of swans on a slough along with an increased number of ducks.

Mike, been getting more and more little geese around Arlington latley. The mallards have been thick for a while but its been tough getting them to a field early enough. Weve been on a ton of birds the past couple weeks but we need some weather. Scouting and patterning has been getting better everyday this past week. Give me a ring this week.

There was a was a push of snow geese into the Aberdeen area. The count was around 40,000 on Sunday and 200,000 on Monday at Sand Lake refuge.

Just in time for deer season.

I have been seeing mobs of geese in the area. I have not ventured into the good duck areas, but I'm sure they are here too.

I hope they stick around until next week when I and the other deer hunters can have a crack at them.

This is good news for the non-deer hunters as they will have the waterfowl to themselves.
