black belly in the boat

I went out for a quick hunt this morning before work. The black belly whistling ducks on the lake have been taunting me every hunt with their early morning antics. Well, this morning they must have forgot to set their alarm. They showed up after legal shooting hours whisteling their little heads off. They were flying pretty high but I managed to drop one in front of the boat. They were a nice change from the ringers. I saw a couple of friends on the lake this morning. The Fullgraf boys were out to shoot some ducks as well. It was nice to see them and get to chat.
