I always thought it was supposed to be three twists and only three. ? Jay

I’ve gained a lot by learning from folks I’ve fished with, or met at a lake. also, on any given day stuff I overhear may be helpful. Overhearing some say the fish are suspended mid-water-column has been most helpful as I rarely figure that out on my own. Jay

@Cabezon This is interesting, after making that comment about cackling geese with white neck rings, I noticed a couple of geese with white neck rings in this photo of the three trumpeter swans we have here now. (this particular photo, and frames from the same morning, was a week ago) Alot...

Interesting that you got some Cacklers w the white neck ring . jay

Here are face/bill shots of the juvenile trumpeter we had here a couple of years ago.

Here is a better close up of the head. From your info: Tundra: yellow spot as blurry white spot on juvenile I think this bird has it. that seems like a great clue. Two winters ago we had a juvenile trumpeter here all winter, it had alot of pink on a big black bill, and no light spot like...

There has been a dark phase red tailed hawk hanging out nearby this winter. Its a pretty spooky bird and I rarely get close to it.

we have trees along our waterways, and it was hanging out in a snag here, but it did not stay long. Jay

Here on the Columbia we get a few Eurasian widgeons mixed in with our tens of thousands of regular widgeons. Some folks here are very good at picking that up, although I find the American widgeon mix of male and female coloration in vast numbers makes picking out and identifying the Eurasian...
