I saw a whole lot of birds today, one of which was on legal ground. He was dispatched with and Barry had a good blind retrieve down a 150' cutbank and across a creek. He had a moment when he found it where he looked at the bird and then looked back at me and then seemed to say "Oh yeah, I remember this", picked it up and ran back to me with his ego in full bloom.
But, to the point of this post, we saw around 15 birds on private fields and in people's yards, usually standing close to the feeder. Now, mind you all of these were downstream from the two open WIA's close to town. I guess the state is buying these people pet birds. It seems the only course of action for me is to just keep trying to get them while they're in the WIA's, and keep an open for real estate signs.
