Comments on: Where the Waterfowl Were http://operationdeltaduck.com/blog/2009/02/where-the-waterfowl-were/ Conservation through the eyes of a falconer Mon, 16 Apr 2012 00:44:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: rebecca http://operationdeltaduck.com/blog/2009/02/where-the-waterfowl-were/comment-page-1/#comment-40 rebecca Wed, 25 Feb 2009 05:31:36 +0000 http://operationdeltaduck.com/blog/?p=65#comment-40 We falconers prefer "good" weather as long as it's cold. While you all want the ducks to fly about, we're thrilled to find a few loafing and oblivious somewhere. However, we generally fly small water. (Like jump shooting) So if there isn't enough vernal ponds to disperse, we're dead in the water (without water?). Seems it was just all around a mediocre to piss poor season, depending on where you stood in your waders. We falconers prefer “good” weather as long as it’s cold.

Everyone was bemoaning the poor (good) weather conditions and lack of water. The anecodotes from waterfowlers certainly do support these numbers – even at the 30-thousand foot level.
