Glad you had a good trip.  To me, birds were pretty sparse this year in Kansas.  I hunted western Kansas on 28 Jan and saw quite a few pheasants.  They were bunched up.  Hopefully, the weather will cooperate this spring and summer to give a good hatch.

 Ken, we missed out on the forecast storm yesterday which bodes well for the birds making it through the winter IF we can hold this trend.  We found a couple of huge coveys of birds last week on the public ground we hunted.  I hope that is also a good sign, but I know it's far too early to tell and our weather can be quite fickle.
 
I hope your black and red setter brace did well this season.
 
Take care.
