Clicking the mouse on them somehow puts those photos right side up. And make's it plainer that you need a bigger garage.

Beautiful pose John.
I’ll start this by saying the only thing I know about avian taxidermy is my taxidermist’s address and who to make the check out to, but out of curiosity, how is the head done? Is there a foam insert that you shape to your specs or is there just a preservative process? Follow up question would be was this a local “bread eater” duck? Seems like he has a big body for his head size, like I’ve seen on local ducks who have put on a few too many lbs around the waist like I do around Christmas time. Might just be the angle of the photos giving that impression.

Just a big greenhead
I dry them down to the down feathers before mounting. Makes them fluff out smooth.
As far as head. It’s artificial and I dremel down to proper skull size
