Preseason '25-'26

Looking good!

Perhaps the BirdCast was right; Rick's seeing specks and a bunch of tardy little ducks showed in Delacroix over the weekend. Standard Sportsman (ARKY based) mentioned reliable report of legit numbers of grays showing in Ark in their recent episode. Sure hoping it's more of an "on the way" type thing, and less of a "we've made it, settle in here" sort of gig.

Area outfitters high on seeing the little blue ducks but of course kicker being the weather we're all hoping for will be what runs 'em all out, especially given we've still a month to go (thank goodness).

It's warm and will be this weekend but hope on the horizon, pattern looks to be turning and will be seeing some more fronts. Will be glad to bring more details as they become more reliable, but models appear to be aligning.

Big chill down and stout northerly winds on the flyway today/tomorrow and later this week.

This week is good, late next week looks better. Glad to see weather pattern heading in right direction at the right time.

A buddy videoed a wad of 40+ specks over his house in Slidell yesterday.....birds are on the move.
