That's what I meant-blue bills....
Hard to tell from the picture which variety they are, but they are scaup. Look like the lesser, which have a purplish hue to the heads. The greater have a tint of green. Grew up on the east coast and hunted them for many years, brings back good memories. We called them bluebills too. Thanks for sharing.

How do some of you get so lucky with banded birds. I've shot one in like the past 700 ducks I've killed. Geez. Congrats though

That's an odd operating shotgun too. Ole side shooter, kinda like a double barrel?

It's luck. Friends son shot this out of my blind last week. His 3rd band and he has shot less than 50 birds.

What are the odds of that. I actually just shot my first this past weekend. Congrats though!
