Teal are cool because they are such agile flyers, but there too easy.

My favs are pintail and widgeon. Both are good-sized ducks that are not too big to lose their agility in the air. I love ' em all, but a flock of pinnies diving the dekes from God knows how high up with the air rippin' through their wings, then changing direction on a dime is a what waterfowling memories are made of. Wigeons are usually easier, but have the same steep-dive approach and agility.
