Canvasbacks
My first 2 banded ducks were both from Ruby Lake NWR, Shot a banded can at Bear River NWR in Utah, and a week later shot a banded redhead from Ruby Lake NWR at Bear River NWR.

Canvasbacks
The first banded Canvasback I shot was banded in Ruby Lake Nevada. I shot that Can at Bear River National Wildlife Refuge in Utah in 1983. High water is good news, with much of the Rocky Mtns (including Montana) in a regional drought.- SilentBirdHunter

Shovelers
When I hunted Utah, Shovelers tasted terrible as they feasted on brine shrimp. Up in interior Alaska, they feed right next to the teal and as just as excellent eating as teal. Especially grilled over alder coals instead of mountain house. These photos were from yesterday's Montana refuge hike...- SilentBirdHunter

Canvasbacks
I hike a refuge every morning and on the hike back to the pickup, I pick up litter. This drake can was curious about my white litter bag. Unfortunately there was not enough light in the early morning.- SilentBirdHunter

Canvasbacks
It is still a 2-can limit (6 in possession) up in interior Alaska, but since the season opens Sept 1 and freeze up is typically early to mid October, we rarely see them as colored up as those two drakes in Colorado.- SilentBirdHunter

Cinnamon Teal
After spending the past 30 years in interior Alaska, I've enjoyed the diversity of spring waterfowl in Montana I did not see in Alaska (Cinnamon Teal, Wood Duck, Herons, even Coots and Ruddy Duck)- SilentBirdHunter
