Holy cow! All gorgeous pintails, cinnamons, and specklebellies with a rare one to boot!
Brewers duck was pretty awesome too! Don’t know which one id rather have
@@MidValleyMercenaries too many choices
Loved the video Titus! We all often miss some of the coolest things in the outdoors because we are trying to kill it, LOL! Real passion for waterfowl is spending time with them when or where you can't shoot them! I've got my best footage of ducks and geese at that time too. Liked the commentary too... good job.
Surviving Duck Season haha so true. 4 hours went by before we even knew it. Thanks Joel!
At 2:34 look at the lower lefthand corner about 3 birds up......
There is a snow goose
7:28 Banded hen pintail to the right of the drake that is on the bank preening
10:50 at the top all of the specks are bulling one speck
idk whats better that or a double band speck in MD, nice work
Cool stuff. At Woodward park in Fresno there are a lot of quill Canada geese and a lot of domestic ducks, along with mallards and woodies.
Sweet
Mid Valley Mercenaries I love those cinnamons man. I missed one on the youth hunt, maybe next year.
After becoming a duck hunter I fully understand how you can sit and watch the ducks for hours.
Man. Just looking at all them birds got me fired up! Great shot Titus!
Me too Jordan! Thanks
Thanks for posting. Used as reference for a drawing
Wow Titus that was an awesome mix of birds! Wish we had this diversity of waterfowl to see in VA
It really is an awesome experience
Awesome footage.....miss it already!
Thanks. Me too
I’ve always wanted to do this after the season. All the birds are full plumed and beautiful, I’ve just never had the time to do it.
Great video Titus 👍🏻😁
Thanks
7:00 I don’t know if u realized but there were a few more pintails in the back also taking a nap
Incredible video Titus! Very special parts of nature. Good finds
Thanks!
Dude that sparrow was that an albino cardinal ? I couldn't tell if it had a crest or not
They definitely when and where they are safe. Awesome vid of some special birds. Those cinnys were sweet. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun. Keep up with the great vids 👍👍👍
They sure do!
Band on the hen sprig at 8:15 and that’s a gorgeous brewers duck, that white speck was awesome.
Someone mentioned the banded hen. Don’t know how I missed it before.
Great footage, Titus! I used to love going out to look at ducks in the spring! Here in Southern Illinois, I rarely saw shovelers, redheads, buffleheads, etc during season. But we would see lots of variety as they migrated back north in the spring. The leucistic speck was really cool! And hybrids are always cool to see!! God's creation is pretty mind-blowing!!!
Tim Cochran: Wader Yoga Thanks Tim! I love God’s creativity. He never ceases to amaze me!
Awesome buddy 👍🏻
👍🏼
band spotted at 8:15 on the hen, next to the pintail bathing itself
Nice! I knew somebody would see something! Thanks
The one travis found is called a "Brewers Duck": Gawall/Mallard cross
8:40 green wing, mallard cross
When the sprig is cleaning himself it looks like the hen spoony to his right is banded
8:45 it almost looked like a green teal with the green and orange feathers on its head.
Iove it soooooo much
Absolutely incredible. This is one of my favorite times of year, after hunting season to watch all the waterfowl on their way back north. The drakes are so colored and plumed out to the max. Such an awesome thing to see what God created. What an imagination he must have
It is incredible. Nothing better than Gods Creation
Very cool
Great footage so relaxing watching these birds great job
Thanks!
It was cool seeing the cinnamon teal in this video, I saw 2 on a pond near me today (pretty rare for my area) and I flipped out. Wished they were still in season.
Awesome footage! Really enjoyed it.
Holly_Huntress Thanks!
Great video that's so cool seeing the cross and the band on the spoone! I'm so sad its over😥
Thanks!
This was some really great footage love bird watching
Thanks
Heck yeah. Maybe next time you will see a leucastic shuvaluh. Haha.
Now that would be...EPIC
Awesome footage Titus. Saw some trophy birds!! Now just to get them during season. That’s what drives us.
Thanks! Knowing myself I’d probably stand there and watch it go by 😂
Wicked Vid fellas! This past season marked my 3rd waterfowl season and it seems this was the year where i got really hooked. I have the birdbrain pretty bad, find myself out chasing spring bass and missing bites cause I am trying to ID birds in flight. This marks the first year where i just wear my lanyard out fishing so i can keep practicing for the coming season.
Videos like this keep the fire burning strong! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Sean!
Love it man gonna have to go bird watching sometime we all need to slow down and take it all in
Agreed
What an excellent video you guys!!! Thank you! It is fun to just watch those ducks and geese . i have never seen a Leucistic Specklebelly before. That hybrid mallard looked a lot like a mallard/pintail drake cross my buddy shot some years back. Love those full colored cinnamon teal drakes too. i have only shot one full colored cinnamon in my life and it is on the wall as i write this. For some reason a small flock was still in the Willamette valley in mid Jan!
Thanks!
8:45 it Is a not fully ploomed baikal teal
Went to one of our local refuges last month. In Western Oregon. It’s always nice to see how plumed our these birds are this time of year. Only 7 months until the opener but who’s counting.
I love it. Wish I made myself go more often. 7 months...
Green wing teal , mallard cross
Wow this is incredible!
I thought so too!
2yrs ago at my refuge,we had a wood duck x wigeon cross.
That’s crazy
wait no MallardXGreen wing
That's Amazing!
It really was!
Awesome!
7:30 there is a banded hen pintail in the front kind of to the right
Wow. Great video titus. Honestly some of the best waterfowl footage ive see. I shot my first leucistic bird this last season, a hen mallard. Cant wait till i get her back from the taxidermist.
Thanks! Wow that’s awesome on the Leucistic bird.
2nd day of late season goose, out in Livingston we got a juvi blue snow. That was a cool bird to see up close.
And 3 years ago, my uncle took me out duck hunting for the first time. I went 3 shots and took 3 birds. 2 cinnamon hens, and a cinnamon Drake. Being new to waterfowl, I didn't really know how rare they are to the area at the time. I should have had that Drake mounted.
Ya cinnamons are one of my favorites.
Anyone else see the band around 7:30
Yes
Wow really cool
Ryder Dendy agreed!
Are you sure it’s a gadwall mallard cross I think it’s green wing and mallard crossed
I wonder if you'd get a pass in the speck closure? That would be a tough one in a group of snows. Had a leucistic American robin in my yard this year, pretty cool.
Good question
I saw a taxidermist that had one of your mystery ducks and he says it's a gradall mallard hybrid
Yep. It’s called a Brewers duck
Bathing pintail hen sleeping to the right is banded
Did you get that teal with a ring mounted?
Travis has it in the freezer
Dang not even one name drop of the famous Henry the Coot? Ruddy and finches got a mention but poor Henry the Coot got nothing! Lol
Cool video. I was wondering if anyone was going to make it out to SL once they posted about the spec on their social media page!
Marcus Luna haha. I’m not on fb or Instagram so never heard about it
I've seen a albino black bird there was a white bird in a big flock black birds I also have seen a albino turkey
8:32 I’ve seen one before it’s a mallard x pintail cross
My dad's killed one
It ain't a pintail x mallard there is one in my basement and it don't look like that
It’s a Brewers. Mallard x Gadwall
I said it before he said what
It is I thought that’s what it was
👍👍
Was that a leucistic cardinal in that tall grass??
Not sure
That is not a gad wall mallard cross it looks like a green wing teal mallard because his head is exactly like a gwt
8:33 MallardXpintail
No its a mallard x gadwall I have a mallard x pintail in my basement it don't look like that
@@jasonwestbrook1627 ya i realized that in the video, you got a mallard X pintail that you shot well thats nice.
@@leviayala9810 my dad shot it but it has more of a blue bill and a sprig that looks like a mallards curl stretched out
Great video! Possibly a band on that speck just to the left of the white one that is lifting up his leg at 9:47 when the coot walked past it. What do you think about it?
It kind of does look like it John. Can’t fully tell
Mid Valley Mercenaries ya me neither.
Nice
Thanks
never mined
Anyone notice the 2 random mallards that land in the back of all the geese at 13:35 (top right corner)
Gadwall mallard
Hey I'm tryna get your take on this btw, I shot my first ross goose last year I'm still pretty pumped about it especially for my area in indiana what pose do you suggest to mount it I was gonna go with a dead mount just wanted to ask your opinion @midvalleymercenaries
Ya dead mount would be cool. Just google poses for mounts or what I like doing best is to google Ross geese and than pick a live pose from a picture
@@MidValleyMercenaries cool thanks for the feedback I appreciate it
👍🏼
Mallard gadwall
What refuge?
Landon Summey Merced
Brewers duck
👍🏼
👍🏻
Let’s be forever if I was you I would have shot it because it’s rare
