I finally finished up with my finals so I took my pup out for his first round of jumping ducks. Man was I surprised to find that my normal honey hole for ducks was filled with something a little BIGGER![][][] Needless to say it was a good morning. Even better than the birds was watching the pup get excited and head out into the rive[shocked] to get after the birds! I get the feeling he is going to be one heck of a bird dog!

Also anyone know what the duck is in the picture?
Not one that I normally see around my stomping grounds

Nice Honkers! Hope that this cold weather pushes in more birds!

Right on! Looks kinda scaupish to me as well, but I'd need to see a better body/wing shot to be sure.

Thanks for the comments[cool]. Looking at the guidebook I was thinking a scaup as well I just have never shot one before so I was not sure.
