South -Western Ontario will be experiencing much the same weather pattern as the eastern section of the province....with slightly higher temperatures......with no overnight values that would produce thin surface ice.....looks like a really exceptional 7 day period ahead til Thursday November 22.....

with the high pressure systems in place.....looks like the southern waterfowl district of Ontario will be offering up some golden waterfowling opportunities over the next seven days

Long Point Waterfowl reporting that a huge change in the weather for Saskatchewan and Manitoba....-20C temperatures on the horizon..thatis -4F.....and means there will be a huge push of birds into the southern regions of the Flyways

Long Point Waterfowl -Great Lakes-....mentioned in one of their migration updates that pintails- wigeon- gadwall- teal will migrate at lower weather severity threshold values....so with the projected dip in the jet stream forecast for the coming days....colder air and the wind vector will certainly become a transition time

Well the jet stream will be dropping this weekend...bringing a vector of air from the north......although the Mississippi Flyway looks like it will miss the weather event of Tropical storm Sandy.....as it is not on the path for the Gulf of Mexico the eastern USA may be a different matter depending on how this storm evolves.....

Good to hear Mike, heading up north central Indiana on Sunday for three days. My hunting days are limited this year due to work load so, I'm trying to make the best of my time.

Guys we have been seeing a few pins, gads. and some more mallards have been showing up along the Wabash river area in the central part of Indiana.

Thank David, here in southwest Ohio I have seen a lot of geese moving but very few ducks yet. Hopefully a northern front will start to push them on down.

Long Point Waterfowl -Great Lakes Region- is reporting that the migration has been slow to develop in the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways.....a few cold fronts have moved through the northern staging areas ....but not sustained fronts and these weather events have done little to move the birds.....the province of Ontario shares merging borders of the Atlantic and Mississippi Flyways

any one in illinois check out my event "CALLING FOR LIFE"

The heavy rainfall and warm temperatures have provided a welcoming invite for the Geese to move north into the province....large groups of birds are making their spring appearance on the watersheds....the ducks will not be too far behind with daytime temperatures mid week of 8 C.

With current weather conditions in Eastern Ontario....two inches of rainfall and mild temperatures ...it will not be too long before the birds move north along the flyways establishing spring range
