They were swarming the hive 10 minutes to legal. Mallards, wigeon, cans, ringers, gadwalls, and the first bluebills I've seen in north Texas in over 3 years.

Looks like you killed both species of bluebills there, the greater and lesser. You can tell the difference by the shiny color on the heads. Green tint is the greater, blue is the lesser. Well done!
