Tough photo conditions. Sort of Impressionistic.

We’ve got em in eastern N.C. right now. A buddy of mine and his two daughters just scored on one each.

If you like seeing swans, head up to the Skagit flats area around Burlington and Mt Vernon Washington in the winter, 1000's of those birds there. And eagles.

It's just a cell pic but I kind of like it.

wilkeshunter,
We can't hunt them here. I havent read positive reports on them as table fare. How did your buddy like them?

ryoushi,
Lots of them here in the valley now. Love to see them in flight.

Here's a slightly clearer Trumpeter version Cookie got last fall.

Don't know what that is above though.

Beautiful

Nice shot! Cookie sure puts her time in.

longarm-Do you ever go to Basket Slough NWR, near Dallas? Fantastic place to see waterfowl in the winter.

ryoushi
Yes, been there many times. Beautiful place. Hunted some private property adjacent to it. All the refuges here in the valley are great

I've got family near there and will drive through just because. Love seeing all the different birds up close. There's a herd of elk that come through occasionally as well, pretty neat to see them out in the valley.
