Grey Ducks Down

Day 2, having no place better to go, Dave, Franks, Garrett, Meredith, John, Blake & I returned to Chuck's.  It was obvious at first light that the throngs of birds we'd seen the day before would be much more humble on this occasion. The mix of a fairly thin herd of birds in the area and extraordinarily heave hunting pressure meant that the diminished numbers came as no surprise.  Nonetheless, the birds did show, and we obliged 'em. Pulled out at 8:15, two birds shy of a full bag.

40 birds
22 gadwall
10 mallards
4 green wings
4 shovelers

84 for the season.
