Dave,
Thanks for the update and explanation!
It would be nice (for EVERYONE) if there was MORE information about the Dusky status, and updates.
Maybe there is, but I don't see any attempt by the game dept.s to share this.
The reason I posted the quote from the site was to simply point out that DNA sampling on birds I.D.'d as "Duskys" at that/those check station/s indicated there was a fairly significant percentage of birds they seemed to indicate might not be Duskys.
There was NO other information, such as you have provided, to understand any extenuating circumstances.
Thanks for sharing!
Care to share any more info?
