Species and numbers: Canada goose numbers are building with a few local duck spattered around. Not many new birds in some time,
Migrations: Nothing to speak of except some fly-by's as the bird move past us.
Season stage: Closed in the South zone.
Hunting report: The seasons are out down here but some are still in up north. Not a lot of activity to speak of except for the occasional good shots found by those that are putting the effort in scouting.
