Post by: Mini D on January 10, 2005, 08:10:49 PM: We don't really get Loons here in Oregon. Off the coast in the Winter, but never inland. That's a Canada thing.

They are beautiful birds though.

Rgr that mini, didnt know that they were restricted to the Northern waters.

I just know i see them on our walleye trips early in the spring mornings.

Cut the motor and hear: http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/loons/sounds/wail.au

sound file does no justice to how smooth and haunting that bird sounds over smooth water.

Post by: Mini D on January 10, 2005, 08:45:22 PM: you've never had duck. The easiest part about cooking duck is getting up at 4 in the morning, sitting in a blind at dusk, then waiting 2 hours to kill one of the ****ers. The real hard part starts after that.

I don't hunt duck because it's too hard to cook right... and I don't want to get up at 4 am. I can take pictures in the early afternoon.

Post by: XtrmeJ on January 10, 2005, 09:53:03 PM: Nice. I always see alot of tropical birds here, and never seem to have a camera handy. I wouldn't mind buying a nice camera to capture some of great photo's I see.

BTW Vulcan, duck tastes pretty damn good. :)
