RE: Rain strategies? What do the birds do?
I like to hunt known roosting areas during the rain. I don't find any reason to stay out during the day while it's raining. The birds in my area hole up in the brush during the rain until they decide to head to the roost. I'll hunt the evenings underneith the roosts and I can generally get a bird.
I took mine this year on his way to the roostafter it had been raining all day. It was drizzling when I took the shot, and started to pour when I was tagging him.
