Opening Week ND

Good times and good eats all the way around.
I assume these temps are above average for opening weekend??
 
Congratulations John, nice array of good eatin' birds! One thing that stands out to my eye is how many are well along in the plumage development for birds killed so early in the season. Makes me wonder how many birds never engaged in nesting... We are seeing more mallards here, but I suspect many of them are birds displaced by the prairie drought and not new local production. Hopefully, they nested and will jump-start a rebound in Great Lakes' mallard populations now that water levels are falling again and allowing the coastal marshes to regenerate.
