this one is alright

there is also one that focuses on just wings, which can be really tough. Took a class on game birds and thought I knew everything about a dang duck WRONG
This girl was in the class and starting studying her wings after class. She asked me what the difference was between a shoveler and a bw teal wing and how to tell a wood duck hen from a wood duck drake wing. I laughed and said well thats easy and she handed them both to me and I couldn't tell em apart
Study time!
side note - that girl was fine as a frog hair from around Minden and cool as could be, had a twin sister but twin was a girly girl. Dad had some nice hunting land she hunted on, and think she ended up becoming a nurse and married a pretty boy. no idea why i felt like including this as i am not going to contribute pictures
