I've been out doing some CRP maintenance at my place SW of Mitchell about 45 miles and I AM SEEING THE BIRDS!. No lie. I say this knowing the SD Road Counts are coming up and should support this. 2005 was a 40-year high but I project that this hatch will exceed that based on reports from other UGUIDE camps around the state (North Dakota is looking good too). I suspect that Minnesota may have a record year as well. I've probably seen over 100 broods in last 3 days with largest being 13 chicks. Chicks are all sizes too. The weeds seem to be moving everywhere you look.
