nice pics! We are finally getting good looking pintails here now also. Were in the middle of our two week split so all I can do is watch them and shake my fist in anger from time to time at em. I cant wait for it to reopen next week. I was scouting yesterday and saw a ruddy duck swimming with a group of bluebills. I really hope he sticks around. Once again sweet pics. John

Hitch,
STOP, STOP,STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're killing me! Posting pics like that while siting in the marsh is just cruel Hitch, just plain cruel. Especially considering that it's blowing snow right now and will be below zero tonight.

Hitch,
I want to see some "working decoy with species taken" pictures soon.
1/2" of snow on the ground this a.m. Temps have hit the teens the past two nights with little or no wind, so given the River stage I'd imagine the sloughs have frozen out. Will probably get out Monday and hunt the main stem (Since retirement, I've been avoiding the weekend - rarely see anyone else on weekdays). Been hunting small sets - 8 or so) of frond decoys lately - really like how they move in the slightest breeze.

Gallinule is sitting boxed by the front door. UPS run by Tuesday at the latest; today if the terminal is open on Sat.

Saw the first swans on the Bay yesterday. The big ducks have still not arrived here!
All we have is lesser bills and you can only shoot one!!
Great pictures as usual thanks for sharing. John

Beautiful pictures. Wish we had a NWR nearby. I'd spend the off season throwing out decoys and shooting pictures!

Hitch,
Very nice pictures my wife may get that trip to disney world with the kids sooner then she thinks if you keep this up.
Looks like this up here right now. Season is closed and even the moving water is frozen. -10 tonight with wind.

Those are impressive photos Hitch. Now I've got something to aim for during the reverse migration!
