    There are some late spring/early summer chinook to be had right now on the Oregon Coast. Our two daughters visited (a week apart) and I'll be damn if we didn't get fish for both of them. There's almost zero angling pressure now but that's about to change.

    Thanks for keeping us in the loop on how your mallard brood is faring. Hopefully as the ducklings get a little older, survival will increase. Duckling survival also depends on the experience of the hen. Older hens tend to be more successful with brood rearing compared to young ones. Regarding...

    Got any bird pics?

    Great pics Steve - I always enjoy your images and narrative. There are a few North American puddle duck species (as well as geese) that undergo sex segregated pre molt "mini" migrations. Mallard and Pintail males will gather and large groups in specific habitats while undergoing the...
