Narrative:

I conducted a recreational sightseeing flight over jordan lake. During this flight I noted that the presence of waterfowl and other birds had increased in the area. Prior to and again during the flight I noted that no wildlife/waterfowl preservation zones were noted in this area. Due to what may be a seasonal or migration change in the wildlife population; a notation on the sectional charts or a NOTAM may be beneficial to both the other pilots and the migrating wildlife.
