Changing the Date

How to Change the Date on the Waterfowl Map

FowlTracker allows you to view past waterfowl density maps to analyze movement patterns over time. You can change the date to explore historical data and compare different days throughout the season.

Using the Date Picker

The date picker allows you to select any date within the available range to see where waterfowl were roosting on that day.

• Step 1: Locate the date picker in the top left corner of the map.
• Step 2: Click on the calendar icon or the date field.
• Step 3: Select a date within the range of November 1 to March 31.
• Step 4: The map will update automatically to reflect waterfowl density for the chosen date.

What Date Ranges Can I Select?

You can select any date from November 1 to March 31 of each hunting season. Historical data is available starting from November 1, 2022.

Why Can't I Select Today's Date?

Waterfowl Density Maps are generated each morning for the previous day's data. That means if today is Saturday, the most recent map available is for Friday morning. Maps are usually updated by noon Pacific Time.

How Can I Use Historical Data?

Looking at past roosting patterns can help you identify trends and plan your hunts more effectively.

• Compare different weather conditions to see how birds react to wind, temperature, and storms.
• Track migration timing and peak movement periods in your area.
• Identify consistent roosting sites that could be productive later in the season.

Understanding past waterfowl activity is a valuable tool for making informed decisions and increasing your hunting success.
