DAY FIVE – Test Three – Flight C – Mitchell's Pond – David Christianson and John Marchica

"Mitchell's Pond" is a water triple with a blind using all ducks. The order is right, diversion shot, middle, left and then the dog runs the blind. The right bird is across the pond thrown to the left, landing at the water's edge with a splash. The middle bird is located at the end of the pond. This bird is thrown in and to the right. The bird lands on what looks like an island in the pond. Most of this island is made up of tall weeds and lunging water. The last bird down is the left hand bird which is located on the same side of the pond as the line. This duck is thrown to the right, landing in the water. As the dog returns from the go-bird, there is a diversion shot. After all three birds are picked up, they run a blind to the end of the pond between the left and middle mark. 

We found that the handlers were retrieving the ducks in the following order: right, middle and left and then picking up the blind. We saw some excellent work on this test and had the pleasure of seeing a one-whistle blind.
