Sat out the other day and did some turkey calling.
I had a flock of geese land in the leftover corn field 30 yards from my treestand. Wow those things are loud !!!
Thought about letting off a shot just to scare them away but a group of racoons went out and did the job for me.
Saw a bunch of green head ducks flying over but they didn't stop.
Also had one of those sand hill crane birds land out in the field. Those things are loud too.
Had a couple of grouse peak out of the woods and put on a show of fluffling up and struting around for about 20 minutes.
Right towards evening i hit the owl call a few times and actualy got a response from an owl. After a few more calls i saw what looked like a grey football fly over my head and land in a tree 15 yards away. Man those things are quiet when they fly.
So in short saw almost every bird known to Michigan woods but no turkey.
Great time of year to sit out... no bugs yet and wildlife moving everywhere waking up for spring...
