I just finally figured out how to drink Pearl Beer. Next time figure out something easy, like getting limitless energy from fusion.

My son ground one up and made Hoodie jerky. He laughed so hard there were tears in his eyes when I took a bite. Basically smoked, fishy, blood - cool!

If you've had gumbo in South Louisiana in a lot of places you've eaten merganser mixed in. It has a strong taste of fish to it.

Our bluebills are Lesser Scaup. In Texas, you'd have Greater Scaup, which I've never eaten (or seen during hunting season).

Eat ducks which can neither dive nor reach the bottom...vegetarians IOW.

I think we have the lesser scaup too. We call them ringnecks. They have a faint thin ring around their necks and the Bluebills have a faint light colored band across their bills. I don't know what the regs are this year, as I haven't been yet but for some number of years we can only take 2 Bluebills per day.

That would indeed be a Ringneck duck. Lesser Scaup are smaller than the Greater, look dirty (more gray) on the sides, and have a bit of a peak to their heads. Not as round as a greater. Actually, the head shape is a lot like the Ringneck.
