New Feathers
Been here in Cold Bay, Alaska a few days and it's been excellent. Four new species taken:
Willow Ptarmigan
Aleutian Teal
Harlequin Duck
King Eider
I had to shoot the Ptarmigan with a Winchester Model 21 because it's non-toxic only up here and I wasn't running steel through the Swamp Angel. Plus it was rainy and that's really all a Model 21 is, just a secondary rain day gun. The rest were taken with the appropriate fowling piece.
