Thought I would give a little up date:-D Finally I am starting to see the flocks of Canada's, mallards and even a few small groups of northern pintails are starting to show up around work. Haven't seen any bufflehead's, golden-eyes or the large flocks of sand-hill crane's yet though I bet it will be only a matter of days before they swarm my little muskeg ponds and creeks.

Oh I hope Spring is Here finally.

I've been seeing a lot of Buffleheads this past week in the lower mainland. They'll start to move from here soon enough and six months from now you can send back:twisted:.

Had a pile more Canada's fly over this morning looking for open water. Soon the skies will be dark and noisy with Sandhill's. Have to say the sharptail numbers are way up this year though so are the hawks time will tell.

I've been seeing Canada's & the odd crane every morning & evening the past couple weeks along the Peace. Even a few fields with whitetails right in the middle of the geese practically stepping on them.
It could still warm up a lot IMO.
