everything around here " ponds,rivers,etc." has been freezing so i was wondering if i should hunt a little later in the morning because it seems like the ducks are flying later. any info will be appreciated!

That's been my experience here in NJ. It seems that everything is flying a little later now that the cold weather is here.

if they are flying later go ahead and hunt later where i live birds fly in the morning and in the late evening no in between.
