DuckCast reads the weather that moves ducks, then checks it against the radar. One hundred thirty-five hunting regions across fifteen states, each scored 0 to 10 for mallards, pintails, gadwall, wigeon, green-winged teal, blue-winged teal, and snow geese, plus wood ducks and Canada geese in the five Atlantic states, black ducks in four and scoters in three. Nine each in North Dakota, Arkansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Pennsylvania, from the Souris basin to the Okefenokee. Every score shows its work. RADAR CHECK The forecast predicts. Radar measures the birds. DuckCast decodes raw NEXRAD Level II radar volumes and reads what was actually in the air over your region after sunset last night. It measures how much bird mass lifted off, which way it tracked, and how fast it flew under its own power once the wind aloft is removed. Bugs drift with the wind. Birds fly through it. That difference is how the app tells them apart. Fifty-three radar sites cover them, from Minot to Corpus Christi to Dover and Jacksonville. One limit, stated plainly: radar sees every bird in the air, not just ducks. Read it as proof that a migration happened, not as a duck count. THE SCORE, AND WHY Eight factors, each visible and arguing for or against: Cold front and temperature trend Wind direction and speed Freeze north of you Snow advance upstream Local open water and holding Season timing Crop harvest and field feed What other hunters are reporting You can disagree with the number because you can see how it was built. Every region opens to a full breakdown and a 14 day outlook. UPSTREAM WATCH Ducks arrive from somewhere. DuckCast watches the ground they are leaving: prairie Canada above North Dakota, Iowa and Illinois above Missouri, Pennsylvania and New York above Maryland, Tennessee above Georgia. A hundred and eighteen upstream stations in all. When shallow water starts locking up north of you, you see it before the birds show up. TOMORROW'S HUNT Legal light, sunrise, sunset, moon phase, hour by hour wind and temperature, and a decoy score that tells you whether the sky will work your spread or blow it out. LIVE MIGRATION MAP Every state drawn from real county boundaries, colored by score, with an animated tracer running the real forecast wind field. Tap any region to open. An All States map puts the whole network on one screen, freeze line included. TRIP PLANNER Pick a window, pick your species, get a day by day outlook and the strongest stretch inside it. HUNT LOG Log what you shot and where. DuckCast finds your pattern over the season. HUNTER REPORTS Region-level reports from other hunters, feeding into the score. DuckCast never asks for your spot and never stores coordinates. Your honey hole is nobody's business. WATCH YOUR REGIONS Save the regions you hunt and DuckCast watches them. HOME SCREEN WIDGET The top regions and their scores, without opening the app. SHARE CARDS Send a region's score to your hunting party as an image. BUILT FOR 4:30 AM Three display modes. Field is the standard dark look. Blind turns the app amber on black, so a look in the dark does not cost your night vision. Daylight is high contrast for sun off snow. It opens on your last good read when you have no bars. WHAT THIS IS NOT Not a bird count. Not a guarantee. Not a substitute for scouting.
