K9jones: Welcome to the fire!
I recommend you Hunt bird all day and then come sundown Hunt for a couple hours go get some sleep then get up 2 1/2 hours before sunrise and get after them again until an hour after sunrise.
Gonna make for some short sleep periods but i done it and it works.
I recommend a red spotlight that can quickly switch to clear lens.
Good luck.
Hold into the wind
