A blackbellied whistling duck looking for a nest cavity in the old stock pond...

I've killed 25 duck species hunting in SC...all but one of them while hunting solo...I've been after BBWD for two seasons now...I will find one...I actually think I have a chance at a common merganser in SC after that I'll probably have to travel to finish out the list.

Here's my tote board:

I’ve probably shot 30 or so species here in Alabama. The three birds I’m missing are Barrow’s goldeneye, fulvous whistling duck and king eider. The fulvous and king eider have been documented in Mobile bay but it’s just being there if they come by, according to the birding world once about every 10 years.so if I want them and the barrows ill have to do some more traveling. I would also like to get the various cackling geese, I have Richardson’s but would love an Aleutian and a true cackler( minima )
 
View from my home office. We'll take the light brown "privacy fence" down in the next week or so. :cool:

Was clearing trails of deadfall ash trees on the day of your post so this was my office at the time... Flowers are white and purple foxglove that I've never witnessed before along about a mile of logging roads. Just the day prior was the last day of a week-long drive back with my son from Alaska. Along that journey we saw just about every major game animal in North America including some giant Stone sheep! Toyota was at the dealership in Whitehorse where I stopped to pick up brake pads for the son's truck just in case!!

This little bugger was in my chair by the back door, if not for Roscoe the Jack Russell I may have sat on it. Red leg I wish my privacy fence looked that good. When I planted mine we were expecting a half inch of rain and received 5, so it all drowned

It sounds like you need to make a trip to Izembek Lagoon. Look up Izembek Lodge.
 
Rubber head I’ve actually seen common mergansers on some of the trout streams in upstate SC, they were few and far between but this was in late winter or early spring. They seem to like faster water, the 2 I’ve shot were on the Shenedoah river in Virginia and the Klamath River in California.

How right you are but an addiction called Africa keeps getting in the way!

Spain, i booked through a consultant, i book almost everything through him now and he's done me right. his contact 724 986 7206 if interested and he will have more info to share,
I hunted elephant with Luke Samaris in 2005. It was my fourth safari and I tell you he is a fine gentleman the best. I got the opportunity to meet Patty Curtis, although never hunted with him but enjoyed our conversation around our tent in the Selous. Very sad for a tough guy to leave this world the way he did. Let’s pray the murderers are caught. I hope to see Luke in Nashville.
