Best of luck to you this year with that new pup. Al

Hi Greg, Thank you for what you had to say. I appreciated it. Right now we are about in the middle of the hummer migration as they are all heading south for Mexico and or Central America. We have 5 feeders up that give us a total of 1 gallon of nectar. They went through that and another 64...

Yesterday, 8-8-22, after supper, I decided to try and take some hummingbird pictures. I was using my new used Canon 7D that I got in the mail just a week ago. Since the light was going to be an issue maybe, I decided to use my 70mm-200mm f4 L lens. It is a fast lens and I'm pleased with some...

Hi Steve, I enjoyed reading this article along with the pictures you posted. One thing I found interesting was when you were talking about the brothers who were using the old McCormick farm machinery. You talked about them "hitting their numbers". Since they are involved with selling to...

With beaver on that stream, sounds like it could be a good place for a pair or two of duck decoys and you sitting with your back resting up against a big tree. Great pictures, Robin. That is one of those trips where the memories never leave you. Al

Ed, she is a dandy. Have fun with those teaching lessons that seem to go on and on. It was good to see her asleep on your deck shoe instead of gnawing on it! She is a good looking American Lab. Al

I sure agree with you on the move Doug and Nancy made. They told me all about that. I did enjoy seeing them again. They sure have some wonderful dogs. Love that name they chose for their kennel---Sweetgrass Labradors. Greg, I wish you all the luck when your season opens. I just checked...

I enjoyed that read, David. Did you ever go back to that Colorado area again? I remember 1969 because that summer I worked for the Alaska Fish and Game dept and they flew me to Kodiak Island where I stayed for 63 days. It was full of excitement since they flew me to all areas of that gorgeous...

As I have done for some time now, is get on the gov't site that tells me about the area that I used to hunt on a daily basis during duck season. This morning, July16, 2022, the Rio Grande is void of water. How can it be with us right in the beginning of our monsoon season? How can it be dry...

Made me glad to know where I live now. Mark, I got cold just reading about what you went through. Since I have experienced some ultra high numbers in the negative category in Alaska and Wisconsin, once again I think it helped expedite my decision to move to New Mexico. I have no regrets. Al

[smile] Mark, as for the Master part of your post, you will find out all about that on the first great duck hunting day.that is really cold. Al

Tim, that is great news. Now that gives me hope that those folks I know who live in western Minnesota also got some of the same rains as you. Al Here is a picture of Coal. I will have him come along on some duck hunts this fall with Chip when the early teal season begins this coming...

Hello Tim, It sounds like you must be living closer to the desert where we live. Here is hoping that the rains will come. Al

What a wonderful display of your many talents, young man! Al We were without the internet for a two weeks. Brought me back when I lived in Alaska in the 60s. What an easy transition it was.

Steve, when next week rolls around and the film crew is at your place it all sounds like a great day to me. Enjoy it! I was pondering what you said and a few things came to mind. Back about 30 years ago I happened to be back in my hometown of Ortonville, MN for a couple of days. As is my...

That is called a constant reminder. The other day I was off into wonderland and Bev looked at me and said, "What the heck are you thinking of?" "I was reliving a duck hunt from the fall of 2003. So,Troy, if you have some goodies in that frame hanging in the rafters, just add some more goodies...

What a great looking pair of mallards. I really like the way that hen looks. Excellent work on that beak of hers. Al

Good morning, Steve. I for one,will look forward to the day when you show us your finished project. Al

Well Todd, there is no doubt about it now. You two have already bonded and sometimes no words are needed. Good eye contact may help considerably, however. Best of luck. As I type this I am listening to my black pup, Coal, snoring like he has done if for years. I'm taking him out to the...

Thank you, Dani, for this gorgeous set of pictures. First of all, congratulations are in order for bagging that beautiful turkey. Secondly, your skills with that camera seem to know no end. Well done. It always amazes me what water can do since I live in an area of the southwestern high...
