Migration Update – March 30, 2005

As warm weather continues across the Dakotas, the light goose migration is pushing hard toward the U.S. / Canadian border. Spring, it would seem, is here at last. Reports of early wood duck broods are already coming in from some states, and waterfowl of all kinds are abundant throughout much of the breeding grounds.

Hello folks, and as always, welcome to Waterfowler.com.

As the weather warms and the birds begin the nesting process, spring is dawning all across the country. Spring Cleaning is coming to the WFC ProShop and the deals just keep getting better. We have a slough of new products lined up, and every week the ProShop will be sending out discount coupons as we add more of the best in waterfowling gear. Be sure to keep an eye on your inbox, and don’t forget to update your user profile to ensure you get the latest money saving discounts.

And now, on to the Migration Report.

Hunters across the nation’s upper plains saw a major shift in light goose migration last week as temperatures rose and waters on the prairie began to thaw. The bulk of the spring light goose migration has moved into North Dakota, but their stay stateside may be a short one.

With the mercury rising as far as the upper sixties over the next week in parts of ND, light geese will likely make a strong push into the northern portions of the state and into the southern portions of Canada.

Rain in some areas of the state should result in new sheetwater becoming available and the returning geese may key in on these temporary wetlands. The conditions for hunters can be tough during a fast thaw, with muddy fields and the birds racing to get back to the tundra, but the curtain is not drawn just yet on the Conservation Season of 2005. So get out there and chase the white wave before their retreat takes them beyond the border.

March 26, 2003 – Migration Update

Spring is upon us and the migration of light geese back to their arctic breeding ground is running at full speed, for now. In what is perhaps Old Man Winter’s last gasp, a cold front is scheduled to drive across the Midwest in the coming days, threatening to slow the hasty retreat of snow geese back beyond the northern border of the U.S.
