We're on the eastern most point along the coast, so our weather is a lot different than inland, but things have definitely been very different the past two years. Last year in October we were still in the upper 70's and the push( 15 to 20 bird days) happened after the 15th, we were running grouse and kicking up woodcock, in the past 20 yrs hunting Downeast that's the first time I had ever experienced that. With all things considered normally in the lower wetter thickets we can have a few birds that will hang around into Dec, but never in big numbers, there might be one or two stragglers. Over the past years there has definitely been a shift not only with climate but migration patterns as well. On a typical year the first week of November is when you start seeing the bird numbers dry up.
