Canvasback!
« on: January 07, 2012, 12:40:19 PM »
First time I ever saw a canvasback was at Lake Terrell  today. This drake and his hen went zipping by about 7:45 this AM and I got off a lucky shot..

It has been really slow all season and today was no exception. The guys in the next blind did manage to whack a goose, though. Date stamp on my camera is off a day.

Good lookin bird. Congrats. I missed an opportunity today on the lower Columbia. My partner and I just finished our 3 bird limts on bluebills so we were picking up those decoys to set up at another spot for puddlers when a nice drake canvasback dropped right into the decoys right in front of me. Of course I left my gun in the blind.

Ringneck on the right and a hen widgeon on the left

We had 17 decoys out including 2 teal hens and  the rest were mallards
also had 4 Can Geese for comfort

Congrats on the Bull Can.  Still looking for my first one.  Have harvested a Hen Can on Fir Island and a Hen Can in the Snohomish Valley.
