Old Squaw coming in hot!

Congratulations on getting your Oldsquaws and putting them into a wonderful mount, Erik!

A youtube clip of the male's call. I still like to use the Roger Tory Peterson field guides for the old names. Sign of our times.

I wish I had a cool answer for that but I don’t. They’ve been called that for ever until recently when the woke crew threw a fit so they re-named them “Long Tail Ducks”. I refuse to use the new name out of principle.
I’m sure it has something to do with their coloration looking like Indian women’s colorful robes or something of that nature. That is purely conjecture on my part though.

GOOD FOR YOU, Gizmo. Stand by your principles and I stand with you. I despise this cowardly woke crap. It's pathetic that people don't have the spine, guts or balls to handle the plain truth.

Frankly, if we're going to rename them for a person, Elizabeth Warren gets my vote over Biden...

@gizmo ... I applaud both your work and your stand. Well played sir.

Thank you. I think just in name alone the Ducks qualify as more Indian than she is.
