[QUOTE="Dodge Man, post: 5376301, member: 2062"] How do waterfowl react when it gets cold prior to northern migration. I mean cold... like that arctic blast we had in February 2021 when everything froze up. Well if you want to read the science click this link: [URL]https://doi.org/10.1111/gcb.16288[/URL]. Long story short, most waterfowl stayed in the same area and didn't push further south. Instead, they delayed their northward migration. Interestingly, smaller ducks like teal weren't more affected by these extreme cold weather events. Instead, snow geese and northern shovelers were most affected, probably because neither can eat efficiently when the ground and wetlands are completely frozen.
