I’m curious how one is able to find downed birds in such marsh tangles?

[QUOTE=Dean Romig;312300]I’m curious how one is able to find downed birds in such marsh tangles?
Dean, attached is a shot of some typical styles of markers and a tiny dip net used to retrieve downed birds. The markers are thrown as close to the downed birds as possible then the skiff is poled to the site and the search begins. As many as 4 or 5 birds may jump within the length of the boat, so bright visible markers are a must in locating dead birds. Some guides simply use bright yellow or chartreuse tennis balls - not very nostalgic but very effective!
