I'll be the first to admit I have no idea what about half of those ducks are. The bottom three (and their kin). What are they?

We get a few of them here from time to time, but most stay out on the big bay. Any good to eat?

Nope. All white wings today. Blacks and Surfs don't have any white on their wings.

One of the guys I hunt with saw a group of about 30 old squaws last season. And I haven't seen many duck except the local mallards in Pirates Cove.

A couple years ago we hauled a layout rig down to NC to try and shoot some black & surf scoters...first bird in the decoys??
Juvie squaw!!!
Lolz. I was like WTF? Did that thing follow us down here?? One of the locals was sure we'd frozen it and brought it with us.

Nope. Just a weekend warrior. Sometimes a long-weekend warrior.

Looks like a great time. Wish we had a bigger variety of divers here.
