collectorRedheads of Laguna Madre (Pics)
At Norton's request....Laguna Madre (Mother of All Lagoons) is located on the Gulf Coast of Texas. It is a great place for Redheads. I will let pictures do the talking.
Redheads by the thousands in the Gulf....these birds were diving and feeding offshore in a bit deeper water.
A swarm of Redheads....
Best way to get around are airboats.
Birds trickling in towards our decoys
Don't move.....
Getting dive bombed by Redheads….
Incoming....
Norton…….close enough for ya ???
After we got our limits (2 Redheads per person per day) rest of the birds got a free pass
Free pass at 5 yards....
Limit for our group….drakes only….hens carried a self imposed penalty.
Here is my Redhead quad, a very long time in the making !!!

Craig NolanDAMN that's a beautiful mount!! redheads are just about my favorite duck, not overly common here in Nor Cal but not rare either.. like the bull sprig sprinkled in as well, nothing like clouds of ducks
Best Regards,
Craig Nolan

perryNorton,
The Leguna is public land...doesn't matter who you know. Come down for a week and bring a kayak or aluminum john boat and you are good to go!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
