Here's a familiar fella for many. Could be the overall best looking, favorite hunting duck around. Just an opinion

You bet we are lucky. The sights we see and can appreciate with or without a shootin' iron in hand. I may or may not have redhead or canvas back. Don't see them too often. Did see a redhead this week but didn't have the camera and he was at least 200 yards out sitting on water. Heard the unmistakable call of a flock of sandhill cranes yesterday. They were a mile high. They must fly twice the distance of the others as they continually circle their way north (and south for that matter). I wonder what they think they missed seeing the first time by?
Cheers, Jack

Thank you for sharing. The spring is always enjoyable as waterfowl follow the ice lines north.

I'll see your cookies and raise you a ......
As the migration unfolds, today was soul satisfying. Headed out with the pups, no gun or camera - just to watch and quietly let it all sink into and blend into the collage of migrations past. CHARLIE and KYRA were focused on their newest game, much to the detriment of the mouse population. I just watched the sky, until the reflected spectral symphony of a prairie sunset filled the runoff wetlands with a radiance unknown to the fluorescent lit mall walkers. It was a glorious evening. Mallards and pintails, canvasbacks and red heads, Canada's of course and a score of swans swimming majestically on a temporary lake. A great blue heron winged by - likely the only local returning resident. The call of the snows became almost thunderous, as a gazillion or two dropped in for an evening meal. We do have a spring season but I never hear shooting - maybe I've grown more deaf than I know. I hope some of you have such days in your memory banks. Cheers, Jack
