Dan, I did not know that you had a Substack until Kelly reposted something you wrote, and you made me laugh out loud multiple times. I'm SO excited to subscribe. I hope to get back to 566 and explore with you and Kelly again soon!

Welcome aboard, Maria! If my pieces bring a smile, or a tear, or a nod of agreement, that will make me happy. See you again at 566!

Or cynically, just need one each clearly identified lesser and greater scaup in early January, then the rest of the year scoops/scaups//scawps they are. Great fun read and photos.

Perfect approach. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

This makes me feel better about settling on "some kind of scaup" as my identification a few weeks ago!

Definitely works for me!
