Wood Ducks part II

[Dano]

Great shots. Can you explain how you get the top looking down pictures?

We hold our cell phone very tight, set it to use the flash and put it in the hole far enough to snap a picture! Haven't had a hen fly out yet!

My old stompin' grounds. I grew up in those fields and marshes. Thanks for sharing Dano.

Great share Danno!

Such a cool bird , always treasured bagging one of them.

Found an old picture of dad checking a nest box, probably around 1980 along the south Alouette by Trethewey's on 216th. (streak is from a crease....)



Rich used to host a DU Greenwing day at the 216th street farm. This is my my son and I and it would have been in the mid-80's.

Awesome work Dano and great thread!!! What trail cams are you using? My box has the interest of a black squirrel right now.

We buy cheap reconditioned cameras when they go on sale! Wildview, and Stealth. I have one Cabelas camera too.
Found squirrels in a box back in the '70's and had an owl in one too!
A camera will let you know what's going on, some of our boxes show nothing but ducks have been on and in them for weeks now!

Thanks again Dano I spent a lot of time shooting Teal in the buck brush behind the berry farm at the bottom of old 5th Ave in the late 60s. It's a great thing you you do for the birds, and in bringing back old memories.

Awesome pics. I wish we had woodies up here in the Cariboo.

I don't know if they were woodies but I saw some ducks landing in old snags west of 100 mile at big lake, didn't have any bino's to ID them, if they weren't woodies I don't know what kind of ducks they would have been. They were definitely nesting.
