FreeLists / birdky / [birdky] Report Ballard WMA 24 Nov

["Scott & Glenda Record" <sgrecord@xxxxxxxx>]

Species present on the front sloughs at Ballard this afternoon include:
Pied-b grebe  2
Canada goose  2
Mallard 300
Northern shoveler  1
Gadwall  150
American widgeon  25
Ring-necked duck  15
Bufflehead  1
Ruddy duck  2

In addition to these many ducks are back in the brush and flooded timber out of 
sight.  Many more are also on nearby private hunting club fields.  The 
combination of duck season opening Thursday and the cold front which moved 
through last night may very well fill up the front sloughs with ducks in the 
next few days.  The last flyover count put about 30,000 ducks in Ballard co and 
125,000 in southern IL
