    It started when the ducks left. A certain river held a bunch of em and I think folks got tired of them being the only ducks, and the scorning was born.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    I think a fully plumed, drake bluewing is the most handsome of waterfowl, and your photo does him full justice.

    I saw you not long ago, you looked like a spring chicken, but kinda walked like an old man.

    They eat good too! I just finished cleaning a few of them minutes ago.

    Great photography skills as always. You fly on out here and we'll get you plenty of the blue wings like the one on the bottom!
    Living in Moncks Corner but looking forward to moving back to the West Coast in 2020 where there are more ducks and less duck hunters!! LOL

    Old Boy's a grinder. Tell me D, did he have long hair in high school?
    I really hope so. The mental image tickles me.

    Beautiful picture and beautiful ducks! I have pictures of Daisy retrieving 30 of the 33 waterfowl species she has retrieved in her life. A nice Shoveler, is one I don't have a picture of her with. Hope I can make it happen. She is retiring at the conclusion of this season.

    Awesome picture as usual! I love both of those birds. Drake Hollywood is one of my favorites.
