Kim Morrish ad I set up in #5 but there was very little action there. Woody had two shots at two ducks in #4 in first 15 minutes but spent the rest of the morning looking. It appeared that some birds were working over no.2 so we moved over there about 7:30. Nothing much came, however, despite a rather brisk NW breeze. He scratched out a few small birds but had only one shot at a hen spring ad lost her in the beet field to the west (though I spent half hour looking for her). He quit the blinds at 11:00.
Over on the main Selmers good old Bill Markey got 6 or so sprigs again, and on Round Farms Selley Parker and guest had 7 spring ad 3 mallards. So we were pretty clearly out of the flight line.
We did better on pheasants. Two drives - "hot corner" ad the tule swng, yielded shooting for everybody ad a total of 12 pheasants. I missed the first shot but killed the next gun dead - no cripples, no runners. Saki did a nice retrieve on one bird that fell in extremely heavy cover in the middle of the tule swamp.
On the way home we went by Stauffer's to pick up some meat that Woody ad I had on order. Counted only 14 kestrels on that route.
