KY Afield Outdoors: Ideal Conditions for Waterfowl Seasons By Lee McClellan Frankfort, KY - The outlook for the upcoming waterfowl hunting seasons looks as promising as any seasons in recent memory. "It is shaping up to be a phenomenal year," said John Brunjes, migratory bird coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "We are still at all-time highs for duck numbers with as many breeding ducks as we've ever had. It's been that way for a couple of years now." Brunjes said biologists conducted duck population counts along the Mississippi River in Illinois last week. They produced four times the normal number of birds counted. "Usually for the second week of November in Illinois, they see about 200,000 birds," he said. "They counted 800,000 birds along the Mississippi River last week and those birds are heading our way." Waterfowl of all stripes are migrating through Kentucky right now. "We are seeing white-fronted geese and even tundra swans in southeast Kentucky," Brunjes said. "It is very rare. We have a ton of snow geese showing up in weird places this year. The birds are moving well this year."
