The area we fished this past week on Lake Erie is called Wild Wings because this area has several large federal waterfowl refuges heck even the streets in that area are named after waterfowl.
The last two years there were so many Baby geese you couldn't look in any direction close or far without seeing loads of goslings, this year there were only a few.
Today I go by the pond and I see a pair of geese but they only have 1 very small gosling.
I think this extended cold had reduced our hatch by either the geese laying less eggs or maybe they haven't laid yet because of the cold or the eggs froze killing the embryo.
I sure hope the turkeys have better success.
