All but one of the major roosts were empty, duck ponds that usually hold 300+ ducks were nearly empty. Was the first time I went there in the last 9 yrs and flat out could not come up with a shoot in the evening, or a field to watch the next day. It wasn't any better looking yesterday AM. Seem to be in a hole there, people have birds 100Km north, and 100km south. Weird situation.

No better in Edmonton. First weekend with no shoot. Tempted to pick a field and hope for stragglers.
