Calls for sea ducks, esp Scoters?

[kodiak 907]

On kodiak we would play the tide on a muscle or clam flat, and in the fog we would whistle (blind call) for them.  When the divers are on food, esp. scoters and whistlers, they are very vocal.

Thanks.  Though I don't see them much in areas where the bottom is exposed at low tide.  The shallowest I usually see Scoters or Old Squaw is about 15 feet, though I mostly see them feeding in the 30 to 60 foot depths.  Saw a couple of White-winged Scoters in the bay today.

I always preferred the sound of hot coffee being poured on diver hunts. Sometimes the sound of a zip-loc bag with smoked fish will also work well.

A fly zipper going down seems to work as well.
