Here is a feeble attempt to show the scale of the migrating flocks. Know that there is way more outside the field of view of the camera lens than what is captured. Ear plugs are useful when up close and personal.
As seen from 2 miles
As seen from 1 mile
As seen from 1/2 mile
As seen from 1/4 mile
As seen from as close as I could get just walking into the field before they finally spook and move a few hundred yards further. If you were wearing white and walked in slow enough (no dog) and took your time, a limit of 20 birds might be taken with your 10 gauge (maybe second barrel needed, maybe not).
And then it snowed. Ma Nature not quite ready to give up and let the flowers bloom just yet.
