Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cookie's Waterfowl Run (5 pics)

Don't know as we can't shoot them here. Fair game though in Nevada and Utah if memory is correct. I'd like to bag one mostly for fly tying purposes, but would put some on the plate as well if the opportunity arose.



Beg to differ and think I'm correct on this one.
Went through this a couple weeks back with some images in the waterfowl section where I was indeed wrong. I think the perception is due to its open beak. Note the Ross bill is the same length as it's neighboring partners and carries the mildly warty texture near its base.

Image below is a blue snow. Much larger bill/body, looks to have a more substantial gap or the appearance of having lips and lacking the warty character. Also, white further down the neck on the snow and no streak up to the top of its head like the Ross.


Here's the image I mislabeled as a Snow a week or two back. Actually a Ross.
