    Aleutian Cackler Hunt in California

    Given that I have all 3 subspecies mentioned, I would guess a small parvipes. Looks too large for a hutch, and too light for minima or luecoparia. Of course, I would not rule out an escapee. Clint

    The blue gene is incompletely dominant, not recessive, and the average ross clutch is 4 eggs. Clint

    More goose pics---

    Carl, I look at head shape more than anything else, and would guess Al had the blue-snow pair mixed, I would have called the blue the gander. Remember, I have alot of captives and live with them 24/7/365 so I have alot of erxperience guessing and then confirming the sexes. Al, Blues...

    More goose pics---

    The "blue" ross looks like a hybrid. There's too much curve to the bill line and the hint of a grin patch. Those with him cannot be the parents (unless there's a blue goose in the wood pile, which is probable) because the blue gene shows incomplete dominance in white geese. Two white birds are...

    Lewis and Clark's air rifle

    I was using an air-power net launcher last week to catch curlew, and the discussion of air rifles came up. A friend mentioned an air rifle that Lewis and Clark had on their expedition and forwarded this like. It's pretty cool...

    Any day now---

    Al, Large number of juveniles doesn't surprise me. They are starting to separate from their parents, many of whom have probably already left. Clint

    Black is beautiful

    I'd point out that a couple of those, such as the "brewers duck" shown are actually F-2's rather than F-1's. Most duck hybrids are fertile and the F-2's show a range of phenotypic values. Clint

    pics/lesson and a couple surprizes

    My thoughts are that's it's just a snowy mallard. There are several domestic varieties of mallards, as there are with wood ducks (silver, apricot, white), and alot of others (i.e. silver redheads, silver fulvous, etc.). Here's the lionk to feathersite's mallard page. I have an old white mallard...

    Anyone Hunting With 3/4 Swan Decoys?

    I just gotta correct that they don't mate for life. They have long-term pair bonds. As long as the pair continues to raise young, they stay together. If they have a couple of bad years, OR the mate doesn't survive, they have no problems chosing a new mate. Clint

    Foamer Progress

    Carl, I'd think you may have some redheads this year. If the halodule beds in Breton Sound are impacted from MC252, you should pick-up some overflow. Clint
