The following report is produced for Texas Parks and Wildlife. Updated Dec. 6. Playa lakes continue to hold good numbers of Canada geese that are feeding in nearby milo, corn, wheat and rye grass fields during the day. Decoying action has been steady and most hunters that have taken the time to carefully scout out prime feeding fields are being rewarded. Biologist Bill Johnson of Canyon said most playas are holding huntable numbers of mallards and pintails.
Snow geese continue to be bonus birds on goose straps.
Lots of Ross' geese mixed with primarily adult concentrations of light geese. Johnson said some of the deeper playas have lost over a foot of water since the last rain and lakes that were only holding small amounts of water are dry now. Sandhill crane numbers are excellent. Plenty of water in backwater sloughs and duck ponds. Migrant wood ducks inhabit the timber in force.
