Been a cool season so far and temps have been below normal comparing them to past seasons.
Other than seeing a handfull of toms strut their stuff in the open fields at the crack of dawn, most have been spending their days in the timbers scratching up the fresh leak and beachnut ridges.
I think all that may be about to change this week if it hasn't allready today. The blackflys have turned on like the invasion of the locusts and are swarming by the hundreds. The cool weather has held them off to this point.
From past experiences, I think the relief of the open fields will make the birds visit them more often throughout the day. Not to mention all the feed that will be crawling around the fresh manure piles farmers have spread.
