Time: Morning
Location: Rolltop blind - harvested rice
Cloud Cover: Completely clear
Wind Direction and Velocity: Almost nothing
Temperature: 50-60
Moon phase: Full
Special Notes: Roux's 14th birthday!
Waterfowl Activity: Ducks were slow at first light and didn't pick up much after that. Seems to be a bunch of new snows in the area and watching them gave the entertainment for the morning. High southbound "migratory" duck flights were steady to the west of us but nothing over our fields.
Waterfowl Responsiveness: Very little flying our way. Had one group of gw teal do it perfectly though. About 20 birds that were a ways out. Gave them a loud hail call and they immediately banked and headed our way and bombed right in.
Hunters: 3 hunters (Will and Jack) plus Grant
Guns: SBE2
Malfunctions: Nothing
Dog(s): Roux
Special Equipment: Mojo teal
Curses: We need wind and weather. Beautiful day to play golf or fish, not duck hunt.
Kudos: Happy to have Roux with us picking up birds on his 14th birthday.
Birds By Species: 5 GW Teal + 1 snow goose
Notes: Cleaned the skinniest duck I have ever seen. Not sure how this bird even flew. When Roux brought it back, I grabbed it and it felt like a dove. You can see how the breast bone protrudes up.
