Really cool----I have all the geese but only 15 of the ducks, and no rib eyes.

My first "duck" was a scoter in college at Humboldt Bay. I cooked it up and had guests. My girl friend never returned for any of my culinary feasts. Tasted like Nike. But we ate it, and was washed down with several Pabst Blue Ribbon prides.

Surf scoters are a nice way to figure out women. ;);)

Missing 4 ducks, Barrow's, Harley, King and Fulvous. Got all the geese including the 4th and 6th oldest whitefronts on record per band records and no swan. Not sure I will pursue the ones I don't have, if they show up good, if not oh well. You do know that snow geese have 2 species like scaup and Canadas and Cacklers are multi sub specie also. A background on the various Branta Canadensis and baby geese

Where did you get the fulvous? Are you including the mexican duck with the mottled?
