Default Mexico

Just got home from a week in Mexico where I was trying to knock a few new species off the list.

I got everything done I went there to do and did it all with side by side guns. Took my Stevens 311 two barrel set and my father's old Model 21 Winchester.

Mexican Duck
Black Belly Tree Duck
Cinnamon Teal
Common Gallinule
White Wing Dove
Collared Dove

And to add to the sweet taste of success....a banded bluebill! My first ever banded diving duck.

Be sure you saved a copy of the final edit. I always keep the original and save a copy with a much different name so I don't confuse them. Different editors work in their own fashion. I always give a short unique name to the version I want to post and put the batch in a subfolder. Then I go to that subfolder and upload to be sure they are posted correctly.

Thanks for sharing your pics with us, Destry. It's cool that you took an old 311 to do the work.
