where are the birds?

I live about 30 miles east of St. Louis Mo. Two weeks ago 7,000 to 10,000 snow geese coming off the lake (Baldwin Lake in Illnois). Today (1-29-06) I'd being lying if I said I saw 200 and I think I counted one twice. Has anyone seen any new flights coming south. Or are they hung up somewhere north of here. Any info would be helpful. I don't mind wasting time in the field, but at least I'll know not to carry so much junk.
