Duck Hunting

12/20/2010

0 Comments

 
I hunted in the morning with Nick Santos. We set up early and waited on dawn.

Birds were flying but not very interested in our rig.

The same situation as I had last week in Freeport with huge bunches of birds. The broadbill are just looking for big black patches of their own and not very interested in a couple of dozen decoys. A couple of dumb ones came by and we had some shots and bagged a couple. 

I knocked down a bird and a second later a peregrine  falcon flew over our heads and headed for the downed bird.

It tried a few times to pick it up out of the water but couldn't quite grab it. A bunch of seagulls were harassing it and it finally gave up.

The bird that I killed and that the falcon was trying to grab was this beautiful redhead.

I didn't actually know it was a redhead because of the back lighting. He was flying with scaup and looked just like one of them when silhouetted so I was very surprised when we retrieved it. 

It was a good morning hunt. Nicky and I had a good time.

Another good day on the water.
