Migrating ducks

fowlfoolr1979 · 09-11-2007, 10:17 PM

Tonight while out around Milford dove hunting I noticed 6 flocks of bigger ducks up high and coming from the north going south in a major hurry. Each flock had from 15-35 ducks in it. Cooler temps up north tonight and for the next several nights......

So what is the migration over?

Im sure there are some canadas flying south. Just because they are headed south and high doesnt really mean that they are migrating.......... does it????????? Couldnt they just be flying south to eat or something?

Most likely cormorants.....i have see lots of the dirty bass terds flying around lately.....ill be out in the am and will report back what i see

Could have possibly been comorants, but they looked alot like canada's, but maybe im wrong.
