Getting up each and every morning at 3:00 AM is one of many sacrifices of a waterfowlers world.

Marsh continues to produce limits in tight locations while traditional flyways have been producing 3 to 4 birds per hunter. Pintails, widgeon, gadwall, teal, and redheads have been on the straps. Limits shoots coming from "fresh ponds" with mostly gadwalls and widgeon making up the straps. So far this waterfowl season we're on an above normal count of banded birds. After only two-weeks, four banded birds have been harvested.

Good job, nothing like marsh hunting. 4th picture is phenomenal. It needs to be enlarged, framed, and hung in the camp.

In the 6th pic (2nd group of hunters holding birds), what is the bird being held by the hunter on the right and on the left side of his strap? It's breast colors look to be a solid brighter white. Based upon only what I can see, it looks like it could be a type of golden eye?

All gads and widgeons in these straps with a few teal. Glad you liked the photos, I sure enjoyed taking them.
