Conditions on the U.S. side of the breeding ground should improve slightly this week as rain, and even some snow, fall across the far northern states.
Drought has continued to be a factor in some curtial breeding areas while other portions of the prairie have received ample rainfall.
The next few weeks will be pivotal in the season setting process as the May Pond Counts get underway.
At present, the overall picture for the breeding grounds, both in the U.S. and Canada, is about average. Conditions vary widely and the effect of recent and ongoing precipitation events has yet to be determined. So keep your fingers crossed.
