We are cover up with dove here in West TX. Mourning Dove, Whitewings and Eurasians are thicker than I’ve ever seen them. Just our luck a cold front will hit before opener and push them south. The Eurasians don’t seem to migrate like the Morning and Whitewings do in fact they and the Whitewings have just about pushed the Mourning Dove out of the area.
Around here it is not unusual to see Eurasians in the dead of Winter. In Nevada they aren’t classified as game so it’s open season all year.
57* yesterday at my home in middle TN, 64* this am-awesome weather for August....
I counted 364 Canada Geese yesterday at a water treatment plant in SW Michigan. Those are numbers I wouldn’t expect for another couple of months. Blackbirds are starting to get together in larger flocks now too. That is about a month earlier than I’d expect also.
