    Default Still locals?

    Seems like we are still seeing just local doves in Middle Ga. Coming in real late afternoon and leaving quick. Hopefully some nasty weather will start pushing birds. What y’all seeing ?

    We have a good number in the upstate. I have no way of knowing but I'm pretty sure they are migrators.

    I'm curious,what about coming in late and leaving quick leads on to assume local birds?

    Last week I cut all of the remaining standing sunflowers in my field. I am absolutely loaded right now.

    Right on....I chop four rows per week but still no good numbers. Had them before Thanksgiving but the numbers fell off.

    Last year we chopped 100% of a field and birds actually left. Think they like the vertical cover with the hawk ingestion we have now.

    It’s the same 175-200 birds that’s been leftover since the end of the first season. Definitely local birds but just saying they changed their feeding times . Hoping to get some new birds coming in behind this rain. Did notice the birds are preferring the standing benne over mowed areas.

    I saw and killed a lot. They flew like migratory birds and they were all grown up.

    Hoping some of these peanut and corn fields will start to sprout now after the rain and birds will come to the fresh feed.

    I think the birds we shot over Thanksgiving were of the big, fast migratory type.
    Also, in my experience I think flowers dry to a point they get hard this time of year making it difficult for birds to remove the seed.
    Therefore, keeping fresh feed available on the ground is critical IMO.
    Peanut fields are full of birds down here now hopefully that changes quickly.
