re: Why don't teal like south central/ southeast LA marsh?

We have had some good hunts on on our lease on coast during early season. But they never stay long, I think the BW just stage there before heading to mexico. What's also strange is we rarely kill GW's in our freshwater marshes and have yet to kill a BW down south in salt marsh during regular season. But every year starting in late feb we have thousands that roost across canal from camp.

ETA: I think the water level and the habitat they utilize during regular season plays a big factor. All our "teal holes" are covered with lilies right now.
