It was interesting yesterday to see a large number of pintails in the field that we set up in for geese.I've always known that pins follow the ice edge on their way north in the spring,but this IS early,as we are looking at -12 tonight,and the river is refreezing!The closest place they winter is on the LM,I wonder if they've come from there or further south,Oregon or maybe California?They'll stick around for 2 or 3 weeks at most,and then they are gone, headed north to who knows where.Migration is an amazing thing to witness!
