I found the map on the Ducks Unlimited website to be way more up to date at least in my area and some of the other guys I have shown it to. Google Earth aerial view in my neck of the woods is about 5 years old. This one is from this past summer without a doubt. This one does not have the features that Google Earth has like driving directions but it will give you an great, clear picture to view that is hopefully pretty recent for your area of interest.
Go to www.ducksunlimited.com and then click on "Migration and Duck Hunting Reports". On the next page click on "DU Waterfowl Migration Map" and then the map will pull up. In the box on the left, type in City,State info and click "Hybrid". From there just navigate to where you want to go.
Enjoy! :funnyturkey:
THANK YOU!!!!
God Bless,

No problem. Thought that some of you would enjoy it.
Wow. You can zoom in with more clarity than Google too. Nice. Thanks
Added this to my favorites; thank you so much for your information; if you ever find stuff like this again, please let me know thru a pm or a general post; I love exploring "new ground from home"; it helps me BIG time hunting public ground; again, thank you.
Thanks Travis! I like it! :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright: :icon_thumright:
Thanks!! That map is great...the zoom is awesome!
Excellent Map! The most recent aerials I have seen of my property. We built a pond in April '09, but it didn't fill until Sept of '10, in the aerial its full. Using that and the fact that the wheat is green (and the pond was very low this winter) these must be from the winter of 2010.
Thanks for the useful info :icon_thumright:
That's awesome! Much more current aerial views than Google. Sure appreciate you posting this man....
Thank You!
Not trying to hijack this thread or taking anything away from the OP's find (because DU's site has other options and a mobile app that might be cool), but DU is using Bing maps. They can be accessed at www.bing.com without the "migration data." They are a lot more updated than Google's aerials.
Thank you much :z-guntootsmiley:
Wicked!!!!
Now saved to my favorites.
Thanks Travis
click birds eye to get an extremely close HD arial shot... its running off Microsofts bing.com/maps and their views are much more current and detailed..
Cool
Thanks for the link.
Sweet...thanks for the link :thanks:
Sweet! Thanks man. I just found a new clearing I didn't know was there and it will probably have some birds this year. Have to get in there the next few weeks and see if any are hanging out.
THANKS!!!! This a great help
Definitely newer photos than Google. Thanks for the info. I conduct wetland delineations for a living and acquire wetland permits through the corps of engineers for clients. That being said, USFWS has a wetland mapping system known as the National Wetland Inventory. Within their site they have an interactive mapper where that you can pan around the country and find wetlands. This mapper is useful for other things as well. You can turn off the wetland layer and pull in aerials and TOPOS of the entire country. The imagery dates vary by location but the TOPO portion is very useful. Give it a try http://www.fws.gov/wetlands/Data/Mapper.html then click "Click here to open the wetlands mapper". Once open in the top right hand corner uncheck the wetland status layer and the basemap can be changed. Give it a try. I use it all the time.
Anyone know how to zoom out once you have zoomed in on this map?
I just use the scroll roller on your mouse to zoom in and out.
Alot better than google thanks.
I used it earlier in the year before I headed to Louisiana's Delta to waterfowl hunt.
It's a sweet site.
I use their maps a bunch and they are very helpful, it is way more current than most and I love the bird's eye view!!
I also use another site here in Iowa...for you Iowa guys...do a search for iowa geographic map server...and have fun. It's pretty cool as you can look at previous year maps and can see how much things change...especially in flood areas
