I have to agree...last place in their division and currently out of the playoff picture.

The loss of wetlands in the prairie pothole region of central North America due to a warmer and drier climate will negatively affect millions of waterfowl that depend on the region for food, shelter and raising young, according to research published February 1 in the journal BioScience. The new research shows that the region appears to be much more sensitive to climate warming and drying than previously thought.
"The impact to the millions of wetlands that attract countless ducks to these breeding grounds in spring makes it difficult to imagine how to maintain today's level of waterfowl populations in altered climate conditions," said Dr. Glenn Guntenspergen, a U.S. Geological Survey researcher and one of the report authors. "Parents may not have time to raise their young to where they can fly because of wetlands drying up too quickly in the warming climate of the future," he added.

Like the spotted owl, they will move to other habit across the road or down the street.
Lord I am soooo sick of these idiots
geese, the reason I came under rocket attack on Old Hickory Lake last year
My thoughts exactly. Here in NW NJ they don’t migrate at all. You’ll actually see them huddle together on frozen lakes & ponds.
Or Mallards either. I agree with the calling BS.
Are they not selling out at Anaheim?
As with any good conservation effort...We need more duck hunters.
Was not “The Dust Bowl” of the 1930’s located in areas this article is speaking about? Seems to me that weather patterns run in cycles that results in changing migration patterns.
Sooooo, this is based on now revealed bogus data and is nothing more than just one of several models predicted by an unknown, new and unproven software program developed and run by the "climate-change" proponents themselves.
Based upon these facts and a careful examination of the circumstances under which the model simulation was ran it is my opinion that the predictions of the software program are a load of krap.
It's USED toilet paper ... already has "stuff" smeared on it.
Polar bears and now ducks - oh the huge manatee!!
You forgot about the BEES! What about Colony Collapse Disorder!
Al Gore, please save us!
It ain’t the ducks who’ve “quacked up”!!
The Whites sure could learn a little from them backward Indians, 60 years removed from the stoneage.
Warmer and drier?! BWAHAHA If it gets any “warmer and drier” It’ll be a toss up as to whether we freeze or drown first!
Raining AGAIN here in eastern NC. And cold!
They should write an article about the millions of fish that died this year in Florida because of the global cooling..
Duck hunters have shot the "golden goose", so to speak. Ducks fly higher; land less often; are no longer fooled by blinds; avoid open areas with corn kernels; and listen closely to loud noises.
Plus, with the advances made in corn the last 20 years they get all the nutrition they need from corn wherever they find it. No need to pull grass at the edges of ponds.
I think we could get back to the stupid ducks through the simple expedient of requiring duck hunters to wear sunglasses at all times.
(NOTE: I used to raise ducks and can "call" to wild ducks flying overhead and they will come down. I have a cousin ~ not so distant ~ who can walk up to a wild duck and she'll jump up in his arms. We are both descendants of a fellow who used to go around with a trained pet rooster ~ did that during the Revolutionary War while serving in a guerrilla force against the Brits in South Carolina in fact ~ no mean trick ~ many of us suspect it's kind of an inherited knack with the birds).
Michael Medved had a guy on his show yesterday talking about some wetland that is being wiped-out so that the Liberals can build one of their Light Rail Systems
Rainfall is a separate item. You'll get massive rainfall at the margins of the "cool dry air" zones as the cool air descends and cools the margins of the warm moist air.
Or Mallards either. I agree with the calling BS.
There are more Mallards in Texas this winter than I have ever seen before.
it’s the draining of marshes for pasture or other land uses.
And me cooking manderin duck every week ;)
