Minnesota's duck season opens Saturday, and the DNR's first weekly waterfowl migration report is out.

It says most wildlife managers are expecting a fair to good opener with hunters shooting mostly blue-winged teal, wood ducks and mallards. Wetland conditions are improved some from last season. Temperatures should be seasonal this weekend compared to the near record cold temperatures last year on the opener.
