Where are the Poule D’eau?

Something has been bothering me since duck season…I saw very few poule d’eau. Where I hunt, the marsh is usually teeming with them…this year I saw very few.
When I see these “prey” species in abundance it usually signals to me that the ecosystem is healthy. The absence of them usually means something is out of kilter to me.
Was it just the marsh that I hunt, or did anyone else notice a lack of poule d’eau?

There’s been a noticeable decline in coot numbers in Venice for the past few years. This year they were basically non existent because of the lack of feed.

There were plenty in the crawfish ponds.

False River is holding huge rafts of coots with some ring necks mixed in, especially on the north end. Looks like they’re staging before migrating north.

I haven't seen poule d'eau or gallinules in any numbers for years. The LSU/City Park Lakes used to be full of them (and dos gris and blackjacks), but I haven't seen any there in a long time.

Coots migrate at night. There has been pleas to DU to bring down the nets at night, but they haven’t agreed to it

NWLA was basically void of coots this year as well, has been a steady decline the last few years. Pretty sad watch the areas that used to hold hundreds if not thousands of birds not have a single bird.

Bastards are short stopping them in Kansas.

They are all over the crawfish ponds we hunt.

Were rafted up in a pond off I-49 at exit 80. Haven't driven by there in a couple weeks so not sure if it is still loaded up with a mix of coots, ring necks and other small ducks.
