MallardBay wrote:Dave, banded a whole slew of ducks down your way at Rockefeller last night. Net went out around sunset and we didn't drive off till after 10 PM with over 30 volunteers. So at least there are some in the area. 95+% were teal including some absolute stud blues and greens. A few spoons to finish out the capture. We could hear pintail in the area while working the birds but it was reported that they don't like the capture area. At any rate I'd thought I'd let you and others know.
