The MarshMaster

The MarshMaster

Wow, been a long time since I've done this.
My first post in a couple years.
Hope you all are doing good.


The 2021 duck season opens Saturday the 23 of Oct, so I did a little scouting.

Made a new friend, meet the Phragmites Duster (hehe).



He operates the MarshMaster, a track vehicle used to treat areas infected with invasionary plants, 

in this case phragmites grass.



Can't wait to witness the marsh to return to it's natural state.

Mallard Nest Tubes


Late March, made a few Mallard nest tubes. Was able to set up one nest tube. Harder than I thought it would be. Had to hold off a day or so, before putting up 2 remaining tubes. Watch my Nest Tube Video at the link on the bottom of the page.

Buffelhead Duck speeds by as I cross the marsh.



I had this feeling of being watched.
