You should come take a look at the Joe.. Its been COVERED up with birds for the last month. My PWB camera wont take good pics from a distance,, so its no go on the pics. Last year about this time there was around 400-500 pintails sittin on the swamp at Kingsbury,, it was cool to see. Last Friday saw a pair of woodies back already also.

showoff!  I want a drake common in a bad way... dont get many of them around my neck of the woods. Very very few and far between.... Did see a few during the late feb season though while doin some scoutin.. and had a pair buzz the decoys on the river. Had some ringnecks and hoods show up on the pit pond today . Makes work a decent place when you can watch birds all day come in |

Lots of plumed-out birds here in the Wabash Valley! The darn Shovelers are looking really good around here! Seeing bluebills, ringers, hoodies, woodies, wigeon, pintails, blacks, snows and specks are coming back through too. Makes me want to grab my .....................................................(ahhhemm).....CAMERA!
