I've noticed they've been flying north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south north south all winter.
Tens of thousands never leave S AB. Observed some landing next to deer in fields where the deer had pawed through the snow. Many die when big snow dumps occur but for the most part they glean in fields here all winter.

Yep, been hundreds or thousands of them spending the winters in Calgary. Not just waterfowl saving on airfare either, have seen Robins, Belted Kingfisher, Townsend's Solitaire and Red-Tailed Hawk overwintering here, just to name a few.

Me too. I think their indecisiveness of which direction to fly is probably responsible for climate change more than anything else.

Watched about 500+ or so going back to the Bow last nite whilst walking the dog. Few ducks out with them last nite as well, maybe 50. Another week of this weather and things may start moving.
