    Default Birds working

    There are a couple scenarios fo birds out on the water that I want to see what you guys know or think about.

    The infamous one is birds actually working an area a diving all over that spot. No need to comment on this one, because we all know what that is all about.

    How about seeing a flock of birds swarming in the air circling an area, but never diving into the water? It's almost as if they have spotted bait, but can't get to it.

    The 3rd is all the birds just sitting in a area after they swarmed around it a few minutes?

    Do the 2nd two scenarios mean anything to us as fisherman? What are you guys thoughts?

    Cardoc for #2 above it could be that the bait is too deep. They see the profile but cannot reach it, so they circle.
    For #3 if could be if they are on the water that again the bait is not within reach and they are waiting for the fish to push it up closer to the surface.

    There was a good thread on bird behavior here -
