Geese On The Hudson (Dredging)

[Twax10]

So I've lived on the Hudson (just east of Saratoga) for about 7 years now and hunted geese every year I've lived here. For whatever reason the water right out in front of my house has been a constant roost area and holds birds just about year round. And it's been that way every year, until this one. There's none! As many know they started the big project of dredging the river earlier in the year and it just so happens a LARGE majority of it is happening about 4 miles upriver. I find it really hard to believe that the lack of birds and dredging have nothing in common. What do you guys think?

I don't think so, I have seen lots of birds in and around the equipment. I think they may be on the cut corn right now is all but I am not an expert or any help really..lol

I have seen geese on the Hudson recenlty; just locals so far. It is possible the dredging has them disrupted from your area but doubtful if you are that far South of the actual work.

As the migration starts it will be intresting to see if the birds hold at night in that area......I live North of the dredging...pm if you need more and I can help....

That's true I guess time will tell once the migrators start heading south
