Any body else seen any water fowl that isn't normally around in their area?  (Haha almost used the word there.) Like snow geese. At least in my area La Porte county. |

I saw a grebe one time and wondered if it would be worth the $1000 fine to see what it tasted like.

I've never seen a snow goose, but if I did, I'd probably think it was a swan.

Guys you may not believe this but the Saturday after Thanksgiving we do our annual pheasant hunting trip out at Royal Flush south of Rockville. On our way there about 5 to 6 miles west of Danville In. There were about a 1000 snow geese in a plowed corn field. My son and I looked at each other and thought each of us was crazy, never seen them this far East.
Then when we get to Royal Flush we see a small gaggle of swans, then about 15 mins we see a pair of swans.

For anyone around West Lafayette take a drive along the "bog" and west Cumberland Ave....plenty of geese-one or two white ones in some of the flocks. I'd guess at times there are at least a thousand birds along that stretch of corn stubble fields and OF COURSE it's all in city limits!!!  .....grrrrr.....this is one time I can't wait for development to catch up to the open fields-maybe then some of these birds will head on out my way. |

I saw a snow with a few Canadians on my way home from work last week. ..and there's a pair of swans with what I'm assuming is a young swan in the middle of the old field-don't know if you've seen them yet or not? I think they've actually been down in my field once or twice in the past couple of years. |

My buddy says he saw a bunch of doves feeding in the fields at night. He'd never seen this before.
I think they're all confused. Yep, magnetic pole disturbance.

I did not see hardly anything yesterday out scouting. I may just go out in the morning and see what all flying , after all this rain, may push small rivers out and some flood water, but with no birds, wont do any good.
