Yes thats a squaw. Or nowadays if you want to be politically correct its called a "Long-Tailed Duck". Very pretty in their simplicity.

Big, if you can hit a squaw, then a can should be a piece of cake. Squaws, hands down, get my vote for fastest, most acrobatic duck.They fly likea cross between a falcon and a dove.

If you hunt divers a lot, then you probably know that when crippled on the water, they are fast enough to dive between the time the shot leaves the barrel and when it gets to them. You can burn up the better part of a box of shells trying to sleuce a bufflehead. I have had squaws out on the bay that I would just about swear can dodge the shot in the air...and it ain't just bad shooting. We had one lone drake buzz us three times straight...and all three of us in the boat emptied our guns at it...and never killed it. The thing moved like an F-16. But....not a heck of a lot of people sea duck hunt much anymore, so you don't get many educated ones. Most of them don't pay a lick of attention.

Congrats! Pretty birds!
