Sat. 9-10-2022 LA Teal Opener
Delacroix lease
Johnny & I with Harry
Wind mostly 0 to light from NE, 70s, pt cloudy, full moon
Survey said very few birds in SE La and my travels yesterday morning confirmed the same, had hopes big moon would move some in for us but wasn't the case. Did take the safety off a couple of times, could have taken one bird that was passing wide on my side but held off given the nasty stuff it would have fallen in. When the pair came back for the call, the dropped in short on us in a nearby puddle.
DNS
Big moon lingering, easy boat ride given we didn't hardly need a spotlight
mottleds bunch bailing out on us
Will & Kyle likewise logged a DNS in another area of Delacroix to our west/SW. On a positive note, after being spooky absent in recent trips to the lease, we enjoyed some nice flights of mottleds right through our area, looks like they've had a good hatch. Probably saw 30-40 in total; one bunch even had a teal tagging along. Try again tomorrow.
