I am kind of surprised that people can shoot wood ducks, I have no
problem with the common ducks and geese being hunted but wood ducks just
seem too special to me. Are there sufficient numbers of wood ducks to
maintain a breeding stock?
and on another note regarding carcasses, in the fall I found a
pigeon(rock dove) with an aluminum band apparently from a Schenectady
homing pigeon breeder, at least that is what I gleaned from the
abbreviations on the band online. I tried calling but got no answer and was
going to mail it the address I found but haven't gotten around to it.
Now on to observing live birds.
