Hopefully it too early to make a big difference…..According to the study data peak nesting in Alabama occurs from April 20-30 with poults hatching almost exactly 28 days later …….Even if we back that up to April 10 to catch the front part of bell curve then that puts peak hatching from May 8-28…….Mid to late May and early June should be the worst times for any bad temp and rain events
If you go back and look at two years ago we had several significant rain events in May and June and still had a boomer year this season ………I kinda think it has to be more than just rain to get them…..you probably need some abnormally low temps to go along with it to be significant……If rain is gonna make a big difference then next year we ought to see it happen……
