Not sweating it for now; we've long had too little cover to work with so having to hack some down in November would be largely a welcome task. Hack down just enough.....
Besides, bush trimming in November beats heck out of June.

Failing that, however, you might want to try purring. I'm too lazy to search through the xeno-canto.org or Cornell files for a better example, but the third recording on this link has a bit: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Northern_Pintail/sounds
That and squacky quacks apparently sounds pretty good to the whistle weary.

Probably about as near to you as such gatherings ever get.

Ryan, would hope you get to help out some time, was really rewarding.
Hope to see them again in about 5 months. Certainly was striking of how many more drakes there were than hens; can't recall a specific count to get a ratio but pretty danged obvious, seemed like I compiled crate after crate of white crescents and far too few crates of brown with blue patches. Sure hope (for all of us) that those gals find water + grass and are successful.
