Duck Reports Statewide?

18 teal, 1 pintail, 4 grey ducks, 1 bluebill, 2 specks.

Off day as no mallards were seen.

Between Forked Island and Intracoastal City

mostly grey ducks along with some teal and mallards in the marsh at creole...

Got a good many birds in our fields in Oak Ridge area. Lots of teal, gads and whatnot but there are a fair amount of mallards mixed in. Haven't seen a whole lot on the big muddy but will know more this weekend.

Decent number of birds in N TX. Mostly gadwall a few mallards showing up.

Not really a hijack, but has anyone heard that first "big push" fly through yet? I've heard a dark goose or two, but - unless I missed it - hadn't heard that "big push night", when you're outside, and hear drove after drove of geese come through. Living in Monroe proper, it's pretty hard to miss.

I'm pretty old now - not really "mad at'em" anymore - but when I was, and followed it alot closer, it seemed to happen on the first "decent" front, after 3 full weeks of October had passed. If my memory's correct, it seemed to happen more times in October than November - which is not to say that ultimately, more ducks made it here in late October than all of November and forward - talking strictly the "big push" - the night the "big wads" start coming through.

PS - Above is a little confusing. I'm essentially talking about the night the ducks first arrive in numbers, as evidenced by hearing a bunch of geese, if that makes sense.
