    Bird Sanctuary- A couple of Hybrids

    My family and I yesterday went out to visit a bird sanctuary and had a great time. I have never seen so many ducks in my life. There were Mallards, Widgeon, Pintail, 1 teal, wood ducks, bluebill, coot and 2 Canada's.

    December of 2006 my dad shot a "Pin-lard" (Pintail/Mallard) at Cowichan Bay. Yesterday we saw one so this is what it looked like.

    Yesterday we also saw this one at the Sanctuary and I think it is a "Shov-lard" (Shovler/Mallard I think?).

    Thats pretty cool! I'd like to take the pinlard to the taxidermy.

    We thought about it, but by the time the idea came to us it was too late! I guess i'll have to remember it in a tastier way.

    Yep, a mallard/pintail cross for sure. They're beautiful birds and on alot of guys wish lists to one day shoot.

    That second one doesnt really look like a shoveler cross more often then not those colourings come from mallard/park ducks, you'll see aton of them on certain ponds or areas where the wild breed with pet raised ones. But who knows, its a different colouring on the back, and from the pictures looks a little smaller then the other mallards.

    That mallard/pintail is quite the trophy.
    1st Im in charge, and if not Matt is. Your job is to sign checks, tell us we're doing good and open your case of scotch after a good day. 2nd my fee. You can keep it, all I want in exchange for my service is the right to hunt all the drakes. A male. Buck only. Why and how are my business. If you don't like it, go alone. Set up right here or in a swamp or in the middle of a noshoot field for all I care. I've been on too many duck hunts with rich dentists to listen to any more suicidal ideas. Ok?
