Jumpin

[8SteelTown]

Got out this morning with StikBrandon for a little jump action. His pup was getting the birds moving. Got this cinny. Now my waterfowl experience is a teal, 3 coots, and a cinnamon. Stoked! Thanks for cruising Stik.

Nice. Did you eat the coots?

 

[Gspman]

[Bonejour]

Way to go Guys!

Either that is a really bad picture of a cinnamon... or you got yourself a ruddy right there.

Congrats , but that is not a cinnamon............Ruddy duck (diver).............I think it's time to buy a duck ID book.........Could be costly , if you don't.

 

[8SteelTown]

Ok. Thanks for the clarification. It'll be tasty regardless. Going to eat the coots this week (some ugly feet on them birds). I have the identification book and app. I was shooting from shore and this dude was a little ways away and walked over and grabbed it and brought it to me. Said it was a cinnamon so I didn't think to double check it. It was diving for sure. Still stoked.

Canvasback hens are a diver as well......And although they're larger. They have the dull finish as well......Shooting two of them could be very costly.......I think I'd be double checking before carrying them around.......

Just trying to save you some trouble & cash.

It's all about watching how they fly, they have a rhythm and motion and most times that alone can tell you what they are. You will make mistakes as you shoot more. Do your best to Id them, learn from it. Spend time at the park watching the ducks. Best place in so cal to watch ducks is the Newport back Bay. Tons of migratory birds that behave like wild ducks.

Ps hope your dental insurance is paid up, you might need it

Rudy......... Did it fly to get away or just dive?

Fly. I only saw it dive once.

There is something rewarding about nailing a waterfowl no matter what type. Keep adding to that list. As for the coots... anything wrapped in enough bacon tastes good.

Lol I bet you shot it in the air. Congrats on the ruddy. Cinns have blue shoulders.
