Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 30-34 Degrees – Open Water
More birds have been showing around the island each week now. Ice may be a factor at ramps and docks this coming week. Hunt safe. Enjoy all aspects of waterfowling. Happy Holidays to all….. .

Sunny & Clear, Winds Calm – 35-40 Degrees
From what I have heard it was a slow start to the season in the center of the island, south shore… . Reports from the north shore indicated that the numbers of birds on the harbors were down. It seems that over the past few years birds have been arriving latter than normal. Quiet a few complaints about the debris in around and under the water and on the marshes as result of Sandy. Take care going and coming…. on the waterways and marshes. Enjoy your time afield, on the water, and the marshes. // Some good interviews of Fred Zink by Skip Knowles in the Sept. issue of Wildfowl magazines, and by P J Rielly in the Dec. issue of Wildfowl. Over the past couple of months I have also read an article by, or interview of Clay Hudnell on helpful hints… . Clay worked for and with Fred Zinc for many years as did his brother Field. Exactly where I read it leaves me now….but I will edit it in as soon as possible. If you recall that article drop me a PM… . If you haven’t read these…. do so they are very good. Some good waterfowling info in this months Field and Stream also… . Buy two duck stamps… . Think safety first.

Glad to hear you all survived the storm. The ducks never seem to mind some new wetlands, tho, it might have been better off not being someone’s living room! Jus sayin’ DG

DukGuy, Thanks for the come back…. . We’re doing ok….. . Was without electric for 7 days….in my neighborhood.. .Some were without power for over 14 days. Just a few left without power as I write this. Lots of help on getting electric back from other states… . Most all had or got generators. Gas was a problem last week but seems to have cleared up within the past few days. The odd and even rationing helped and deliveries seem to be getting back to normal. Most of the folks on the island have grown up with these storms…. . There was good local preparedness. The worst part was for those that lived on the water close to the inlets and harbor entrances… . Quiet a few homes were lost. There is a lack of housing although the government and local agencies seem to be getting on top of it. Local cleanup has been rapid… . Hopefully all will be getting back to a more normal state for Thanks Giving. We do have a lot to be thankful for. GNR. PS The local ducks didn’t seem to mind the storm a bit. Go figure…. .
