i was trying to find out what kinda duck this was because i went hunting this morning in louisiana all the way at the bottom in montegut and there was two of them we passed by in my boat earliy in the mornin and it was the first time we had ever seen these birds down here i think it was because how cold it has been
@PRODRIVE27hp i live in Louisiana and i see them in Lake Pontchartrain actually pretty often... you gotta look good for em though... they sometimes hang out by the bufflehead... how was the hunt? i haven't shot or seen shit this year!
haha im from the NC coast and ive been tryin to kill an oldsquaw to mount forever. theyer really smart and wont decoy. haha its pretty funny that you just kinda found him and picked him up.
thats kinda cool that it let you pick it up and get close. It seems really relaxed. The long tailed ducks out here in Washington dont allow you to get very close. Did it seem to have any health problems or was it just exhausted?
Thanks for the comment. Its funny because I thought it was sick too. I am familiar with birds of Michigan but never saw anything like this before. I email a picture of it to a family friend and she said it was an "oldsquaw" An artic bird that flew just a little to far south. Come to find out it migrates at night and all it was doing was resting...lol. I let it go a few hours later, it looked back at me as if to say..."You @sshole, I was trying to sleep!"

Oldsquaw (long-tailed ducks) usually winter off the coast of Maine. I see them here all the time in the winter. They make the FUNNIEST call.

you want to hear something crazy?
my grandfather about ten years ago killed an old squaw while duck hunting.
no one new what the bird was when we retrieved it... but eventually found out what it was,
the craziest part about it was that it was in the southern marshes of Texas where we live and hunt!
we have virtually no explanation of how the brid got down that south or why, but it most certainly was a very very rarity.
now its stuffed on my wall :) beautiful bird
