Michigan Waterfowl (LP)

With the all the warm weather we have lost all the ice on our inland lakes. Since the ice left we have been able to get out and set many Mallard nesting tubes. All the Mallard nesting tubes were supplied to us by Delta Waterfowl. While we were out setting these nesting tubes this weekend we encountered massive numbers of Waterfowl. The birds are definitely on there way back north! I will have pictures of the Mallard nesting tubes and a report on the activity inside each nest next month. Hope everyone is enjoying the spring weather, I know I am, between the nesting projects and SteelHead fishing I don't think I have spent more then 24hrs at home. Take Care all, see ya in a month.

Here are some pictures form this afternoon. These really don't do the Fennville Unit justice, but at least you will have some kind of idea. You really need to see this magical place for yourself to grasp the magnitude of the Farm.

As of 12/29/09 we are starting to see almost all the lakes freeze over, with exception of the deeper lakes fed by our rivers. Large number of ducks and Geese still holding on what little water is still open. The Fennville Farm Unit in Allegan County is starting to see excellent numbers of Ducks and Geese showing up. Currently the Fennvill Farm Unit has 19,458 Geese and 6008 Ducks.
