Hunted Pool 7 and Lake Onalaska bottoms.  Tremendous numbers of tundra  
swans and canvasbacks.  So many that duck Id was paramount especially  
if your 1 bird/ day limit on cans was already met.  My dad felled a  
nice drake can and before retreival could be made, a bald eagle came  
in and took ownership- that is a first!!!  Many longspurs, snow  
buntings, pelicans and a decent red- tail flight yesterday afternoon  
when winds went NW. Also decent numbers of snow geese.  Duck spp.  
Included all the puddlers, including bw teal and woodies.  Divers  
included all the bay ducks as well as hooded mergs,  buffleheads,  
ring- necks, etc.  Flushed late A. Bittern tromping through cattails.   
And as always during duck hunts, gorgeous mornings and glorious  
sunsets.   The bag is merely a bonus.
