We are experiencing an odd year so far as the early ducks were plentiful and widely distributed. However, now that the big storms have had their run, birds are scarce and some have possibly gone back north. The remaining ones are concentrating on public and private refuges. Northern CA birds will reverse commute to Oregon and sometimes Washington if the fields are not yet covered with snow.....so I've been told by the biologists.
At this point, a very different year than normal with big early rains and not too many ducks killed (as reported by the local picking shed).
Hunters are an optimistic bunch...possibly even more so than real estate agents! We (both) wait in hope.
My wife is an agent (ret.)....no one was intentionally maligned while posting this report. Brian
