It wasn't until I downloaded the pictures that I realised I caught this all on film...

Here's Dave putting on his secret attraction cologne

Now the this pic and then next are a little rough..

But as you can see in the poor early morning light, instead of putting on his snow goose colone, he put on his SWAN cologne!
We had 2 dozens swans decoy right into our snow goose spread this morning, and many others come awfully close, quite a sight to see birds with 9 foot wingspans work to the spread, not hooking and turning with these big boys, they are on final approach a lonnnnnnggggg ways back!

Here's another group that landed long of us..
And the most surprizing thing was there complete ignorance of gun fire, I shot a teal to the left, with swans 30-50yards to the right side and they didn't even flinch!
The goal of snows and pintails didn't happen, but we both had a great time.... Oh and if I ever lecture about drop offs around ladner, do as I say, not as I do!
Very best,
Ian
