Duck sightings spotty, but conditions are promising
While geese have moved into Louisiana in numbers, ducks seemingly haven't migrated in large numbers yet. However, habitat conditions are excellent and set the stage for a great season when cold fronts finally push the birds southward. It seems like here in south Louisiana we get things in extremes. It’s either hot or cold, with rarely an in-between. Sometimes we pray for rain to alleviate drought, and other times we get floods.

Waterfowl survey highlights
We were unable to complete the survey in coastal Louisiana, missing 4 transects in the southeast region, due to poor weather September 9-11. Scattered storms also created sub-optimal conditions for completed portions of the survey. In most cases when the survey is incomplete, a report is not generated because overall survey numbers are not directly comparable to past years or averages.
