Just on observation, there was really good appearing duck production in the potholes, but they do tend to move on when there's no open water. Geese on the other hand seem to be all over the wheat and hay fields of the plains into late January. I hope there is good late winter moisture prior to nesting, as I get the impression that the birds weren't forced to concetrate and may send more heading back north. The overall numbers may be on the rise.
