Huntings been a little tough this year. Great conditions early on, but a little warm for temperatures and no ducks. We had quite a bit of rain, so it made it hard for the farmers to get the crops out. What a perfect spot if there were any ducks around. We did have 10 ducks land in the dekes at first light, so it wasn't a complete waste.

The water was going down pretty fast. This is the same spot, just 1 day later.

Fast forward about two weeks, and we've had freezing temps and all of the little water holes are now froze up. So, I went to the local park where the birds like to use as a resting area, just to see if anything is in the area still. Sunday morning, I watched in awe from first light, to about an hour and a half later. It was wave after wave after wave of mallards landing in this area. Neatest thing I have ever witnessed. I was lucky enough to capture a few of the flights coming in.
