Last weekend out here by me in Bellport Bay there was a huge raft of bluebills.  They have since disappeared.  They said DU did a flyover the Canadian border and there were still over a million mallards there last week.  It needs to get cold!  We got these Gaddys and hen mallard the final minutes Sunday afternoon.

Nice shooting on the gaddies !! Yeah I think your spot on we need a little winter !! I actually managed to hit a drake and hen long tail in the manhasset bay !! They usually don't come into bay so that was a nice surprise but that was it and only saw a very few flights of bills oh well just have to wait for some weather to move them

We went out of Point Lookout yesterday.  There were plenty of brant there.  But, they were holding tight in huge rafts of a few hundred birds.  When birds did get up to fly, they seemed like they were more interested in landing with the other huge groups of birds than checking out our rig of a dozen dekes.  We did manage to get four brant, a black, a drake mallard, and one goose between the three of us.
