First thing is they have to stop allowing the flooding of standing corn, period. 2nd thing have to cut back and out alot of the food grown and dumped on refugees. It's one thing giving them areas to rest it's another having these completely undisturbed refugees loaded with food to hold thousands of birds there all winter. They will stay there ice or not with it like that. It can freeze over and they can still feed in these flooded standing cornfields, they are flooded right up to the ears of corn. They just walk on the ice and eat right off the ears of corn. We have to get them spreaded back out some and moving around again some. Restoring somewhat of a migration that isn't just solely based on blistering ,ridiculously, unbearable winter weather conditions. It wasn't like that for years, weather played it's role but they were other factors such as food, pressure, and disturbances that also played key roles in distributing and moving migration of birds, also contributing in spreading out the birds some over much larger areas. Rather than the much more condensed and compacted migration we have now with huge concentrations of birds in small areas. If things don't change this sport is eventually going to go away.
