As a kid in the 80s in BR you’d always see/hear geese up high. I never ever see them now. Also, there were mallards by the 10s of thousands in manchac/maurepas. They’re would be giant rafts of them in the tickfaw and blind river. We had a slough behind the house where hundreds of woodies would roost. Sometimes thousands. We would count them coming in at dusk.
Absolutely none of that happens anymore. There’s less ducks and there’s less reason for them to be here. Sugar cane instead of beans and corn. Crawfish instead of rice. Neighborhoods instead of ag land.

In the 80’s in North Alabama we would see geese flying very high going south. Would not see many in fields. Now they are like this in my driveway.

And now the whole place is choked out with salvania and water hyacinth.
