ruttinbuc Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 I went for a walk this morning up at the reservoir near where I hunt. I didn't find as much deer sign as I thought I would or any sheds. But I did manage to escape with some pictures of the treasures you can find there. Not the best day for taking pictures, but a good day none the less.

buckee Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Great pics Mike, but those aren't Hooded Mergansers buddy, they're Buffleheads and the geese look more like escapee barnyard ducks or geese.

ruttinbuc Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Well, I stand corrected. My knowledge of ducks is a bit limited. I knew the common mergansers and after the correction I see quite the difference in the hooded merganser and the bufflehead. Was thinking birds of a feather flock together. These geese look too much alike to be run of the mills you think? Jack might know... Another view of the goose in ? They are Buffleheads Your woodpecker friend moved east...

Tominator Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I like the panorama. Goose looks to be a snow (hard to see without a close up of the beak) or a domestic hybrid of some sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Also the pic Scaups in love are not bluebills, they are ringnecks! How about that...learned something else today! From now on they are just ducks. I have to get the $4000 set up or get a blind to get closer, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 As always, great pictures, Mike. I was all ready to jump all over the hooded merganser = bufflehead thing, but I saw buckee had beat me by about 5 country miles. As for the geese, as has been stated, the one does look like a snow to me but the other seems a little strange. Guess you better get the $4000 rig. And those ducks walking in the stubble aren't redheads.:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoythunter37 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Awesome Pic's man. The Chippy in the rocks took me a little bit to see. I guess I need to go get my eyes checked but he didnt pop out at me hardly at all. Awesome pics though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
