As if that would have done so during his tenure there.

White wings have started showing up in SW Louisiana, but that field is in the piney woods and is all mourning doves. Eurasian doves pretty common in farming areas or urban areas.

Give it time, they will come your way. There are some Eurasian Collared Doves near where I live that I see quite often.

White-wings are apparently attracted to my homers and have been see around them for the past few years and nested in my front oak this summer.

Them teal birds are up here still so y'all may as well hang up your guns.
They're not feathered up very good. Could hardly tell if they were GWT or BWT. It was almost dark.
I THINK they were bwt. So many of them. Too many to count.
Did not see one goose. Drove about 6 miles on the lake.

I'd think it the long periods of exceptionally high water the past couple years are what's set a lot of the cane back. Know it is thin and sickly everywhere in our marsh except at my blind, where it stood out like a desert oasis until I knocked it back with poison to match the patches around it.

Did you see many ducks?

Nice way to start.... Other than the guys on our place, we didn't hear or see of much else. I know the guys hunting north of our camp didn't fare as well as we did.

I heard that there was something killing the Roseau in the marsh South of Venice too, and noticed a white mold like substance on some of the canes we were hunting from, and wondered if it was what was killing it????

Thanks Darren, that appears to be what I was seeing. The canes seemed to be alive and well, but gotta wonder what the summer will bring since that is the peak of damage.
