How to read this comparison Weather is matched to MDC report dates, which are not confirmed hunt dates. Daily observed averages differ from a forecast’s daytime temperature and wind. Nearby-station conditions may differ from the marsh. Seasons, hunter skill, habitat, hunting rules and survey coverage also affect harvest. These descriptive groups do not establish cause, statistical significance or future success. Missing values and duplicate dates are excluded; no synthetic kills are used. Changing the filters is exploratory.

Maps for your current plan Migration & bird counts Where ducks were counted, plus a regional migration reference. Survey counts describe birds present—not birds harvested or guaranteed hunting access.
BirdCast tracks mixed birds at night, not duck-specific flights or local landings.
About the free migration radar The dashboard normally runs March 1–June 15 and August 1–November 15; late duck migration can fall outside that window. It opens on BirdCast; no paid service or account is required to view it.
