It rained all morning but stayed fairly dry all afternoon.
Amateur marks were a retired long mark in the middle down first thrown left to right, flyer on the left thrown right to left down second, shorter go bird on the right thrown last converging tightly with the long mark and thrown into heavy cover by a tree. The dogs showed a variety of work. Many flared off the short fall aided by the wind and the broken terrain when going for the long one and ended up in the wide open no man's land between the flyer and the long mark. Some dogs broke on the flyer, some went for the go bird but blew though and headed for the flyer or the long mark. Some had a hard time coming up with the go bird and some had a hard time with the flyer. There were many ways to get in trouble on this test - very well designed.
There were 22 callbacks to the land blind. I won't list them because they were able to complete the land blind today. Callbacks to the 3rd series (19 dogs):
1, 3, 4, 10, 12, 14, 17, 22, 26, 32, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 43, 47, 49, 54

Open was a very tight triple with middle bird thrown left to right with a log or brush in front of it. Second down was on the left thrown right to left with some heavy cover enroute. Both of these gunners retired. The flyer was on the right thrown left to right with the gunners very tight in front of the middle mark. Dogs that went out or returned via lines that crossed the line to another mark had problems coming up with the third mark. A number were sent for the lefthand mark second but ended up picking up the middle mark and then had problems getting the remaining mark. Callbacks to the 2nd series (49 dogs):
1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 18, 22, 24, 27, 28, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 44, 46, 47, 49, 50, 51, 52, 54, 56, 58, 59, 60, 61, 63, 64, 66, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75,

Open Callbacks to Water Blind (35 dogs):
4, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 16, 22, 24, 27, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 40, 46, 47, 49, 51, 54, 56,

The water blind is a rat trap blind which starts with a dry pop on the left. From a bluff overlooking the water, the dog angles down a slope into a channel of water, angles across the channel, and gets up on a double point. The point has a flat shelf of grassy land and then a second level of higher land. The dog must hit both levels and then get back off the point out into open water to the rat trap. Very easy for the dog to curve out of sight either on the point or once they get in the water. Some dogs are having problems with the rat trap concept in that they think they are supposed to parallel the shore or head across the water to the opposite shore so there is some ping-ponging in the water to get them out to the bird.

The Amateur water blind had a long entry to a fairly small pond. The line was through a narrow corridor between a snag and some brush in the middle of the pond on the right and a point of tules on the left and then on out to the bird. Dogs could easily disappear behind the point of tules. They had just finished and were starting to set up the water marks as I drove out. I'll find out more when I head back out there.
The Derby started late this morning. Will check that out, too.

I tried to get the Derby callbacks to the 3rd series but they did not post them at the clubhouse and no one at the Amateur awards had them readily available. I did hear that the few that were dropped were "obvious". Sorry I don't have more info.

Derby Callbacks to the 4th Series (21 dogs):
1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 26, 29, 30, 32
They were just starting the 4th series at about 12:15
The Open is still running its 4th series. In line triple down a shore with four large stands of tules along the base. All birds thrown left to right. Long bird down first thrown downhill into the water at the base of one stand of tules. Middle bird thrown uphill from a laydown blind landing visually between two other stands of tules. Flyer at the base of the shore with a mound of dirt and a small amount of water enroute. Of the dogs I watched, many ended up getting the long bird second and then had a hard time getting the middle one. Most were handles and/or pickups.
