Thanks to all - I guess I've just been missing them. I -have-
checked all the
areas in Skagit County that people reported ... just didn't see/hear
them. I
guess the hunting pressure is more to blame than anything else.
Today, at the East 90, a duck hunter came back to his car. He had
his 4-6 year
old daughter with him ... she was all decked out in boots and camo gear and
clearly enjoyed her Dad helping her get out of the gear before getting
into the
car. Great Dad and cute daughter.
I did not hear any shots there today - so expect he was carrying all
those
decoys (more than 10) after getting blanked. Also did not see any birds on
the 'good for hunting list' flying today. No geese of any kind, no
ducks, and
only a few swans (which are not on the list?).
I caught a Bald Eagle finishing its lunch on that last pole on the
right as you
get to Samish Island.
