Once the lakes freeze the local geese in my area head to the river. Most the migrators coming through this time of year are sticking to our river systems as they migrate south. Not saying no chance any migrators will stop by but the season closes 21st and birds are few and far between at this point. Not worth almost 20 bucks a day in gas to run generator. Plus the open water from the ice eater is getting smaller everyday as temps drop well below freezing.
