Prospects look pretty good for waterfowl hunting season
Waterfowl survey results and estimates presented in the report show strong breeding populations for multiple duck and goose species throughout much of the United States and Canada, which could equate to strong migrating waterfowl numbers in the Atlantic Flyway. According to the surveys conducted by the Fish and Wildlife Service, breeding duck conditions were excellent in much of the eastern survey area of eastern Canada, Maine, and northern New York. Most of the area received normal to above-normal precipitation resulting in full rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, bogs, and other wetlands suitable for breeding, nesting, and brood-rearing waterfowl.
