Nov 2 sprige 5 snipe 1 teal 2 sprige 1 widson Salmon Nov 20, 1977 I took Harold Hardy to no. 2 today. The flight was exceedingly light - less even than I anticipated. But we had a few chances and by virtue of some damn good shooting we bagged a few birds. No big "coils" came into the pond today. Our only shots were at singles and pairs. Nor were there very many teal, shoveline or widson hanging around - they disappeared too. Ted got one sprig in 4, Alan had a Teal in 4, as Dennis ad Sally were shunked in no.5. With Edwne we were high blind. We are starting to see more geese. Some big skeins of speckle billies passed north and a little bunch of snows came over us just out of range. Also saw two flocks of canvasbacks ad a few miscellaneous divers (mergansers, scupledred, a goldeneye). On the way back to the car I quartered across the field of reed canary grass looking for snipe. Jumped about a dozen and shot at five, killing every one. Later I figured that today I shot 7 shills ad came home with 2 sprige ad 5 snipe. After heavy shooting yesterday I don't know what black magic overcame me today. Betty ad I counted kestrels on the way to Vacaville - 21 this time.
