Nice photos. I've never been there so I can't comment directly. Nature does change and often the reason is not clear. We often develop our own opinions, but they are impossible to confirm. It may take many years before conclusions can be reached. I understand your frustration; you once had a private paradise and now not so much.
Merry Xmas and "keep the faith".
Don


Thanks Don for the look and comment ,But frustration is not what i am feeling at least not for the reason you state .I guess i am between a rock and a hard place.I love what i have but i want everyone to be able to experiance it.I just wish there was a way for that to happen and not impact the birds.You are correct about the years it will take for a definitive conclusion to be reached perhaps we will never know Merry Christmas to you and yes i will keep the faith

Very nice work Mike, a fitting end to your season

Birds vary year to year for many reasons. BE's being opportunists that they are were probably just finding food easier elsewhere. Every year is different, I was just having that same conversation the other day with someone about Snow Geese, sometimes there just doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.

Thanks for the visit Tim and yes your right i guess only time will tell.

There are many variables. The largest one, imho, is the weather and/or habitat change. After the November arctic outbreak, it has been warmer than average over much of the central part of the country, and there isn't much in the way of river ice or lake ice. Let's face it, BE's are very much drawn to ice. It makes hunting much easier. Without river or lake ice, BEs will be more dispersed and unpredictable, I believe. Squaw Creek has seen a similar chaotic number count. Great numbers earlier in the month, but they've come down. I bet they go back up after this next arctic airmass. I've never been to LD14, but from everything I've read, the peak is late January/early February when the climatological peak of river ice is.
