1 pintail x gadwall hybrid 1 g-w teal 8 snipe Sorenson Dec 10, 1977 MORE FOG. This one is about the worst any of us can remember. It lay hard on the ground all day and was still there when we left late in the afternoon. In #4 blind I had a shot at a bunch of a dozen or so big ducks looming out of the fog, one of which I could see had a long jointed tail. I got him down with two shots and it turned out to be a very strange looking bird -- mostly pintail but with markings on the back and head of a gadwall. It is a male, still as jet blue like a spring, long spring tail, head brown on top, lumpy checker and throat, partial white line up side of neck (like spring) and vermiculated back like gadwall. I've never seen one before. Will put it up for MV2. Later killed a pretty little male teal. Hunted pheasants for a while for Silver Fox Cox and sent him home with seven -- that ought to keep Margaret happy. After that we did some snipe hunting on N end of Round Frame. Plenty of birds but we could scarcely see them in the fog. I ended up with a limit, part of which I got at S end of our farm before lunch. I was invited at Honey Lodge for lunch. Silver Cheekering served a delicious venison stew, made from the buck Dave Pachard and I helped him get out of a canyon. Too foggy for fowl count.
