“There are only so many sounds pintails make,” a ’fowling friend once told me. Hear the sounds of a green-winged teal duck:
Duck sounds plus#
A plus to the whistle is its versatility, as you can imitate not only teal but also drake mallards, pintails and widgeon with the tool. Several teal-specific whistle-type calls are available. The rhythm when calling green-wings can be seen phonetically as peep! Peep-peep! Peep. That is, they make a high-pitched whistled PEEP! - short of duration and high in volume. Green-wing teal, on the other hand, are what I’ll call peepers. However, they do require more air pressure and a radical departure from the traditional mallard cadence. Teal-specific calls, however, are tuned higher out-of-the-box. More air and tongue pressure increases the pitch, and all that leaves is to step up the cadence or rhythm. Many folks, myself included, use a traditional mallard call on blue-wings.
The differences are in the pitch, which is much higher, and the cadence, which is much quicker.

The basic call for blue-wings is very similar to the hen mallard’s greeting call. There’s a difference between teal in terms of calls and calling.
Better yet, wait until the birds have landed, entice them closer with the promise of company using the whine, then practice the art of jump-shooting. Then, when they’re within 100 yards or so, the whine, the aforementioned peep-whistle of peet - w-o-o-O-O-I-T, or simply the rising whistle portion of the call can convince them to light. Sometimes the high-pitched creeeeek - creeeeek in-flight call of the wood duck will get a flock’s attention. Coincidence? Perhaps, but that one-in-a-million occasion was enough to convince me that when a flying wood duck wants to listen, he will. However, I did on one occasion see a small flock change course and return to a timbered pothole where a cousin of mine, wood duck call in hand, had just called to them in their peet - w-o-o-O-O-I-T rising whistle. It’s been my experience that 99% of the woody population will ignore a wood duck call. I’d have to branch out and come to grips with the fact that some ducks don’t quack. From that point on, I decided if I wanted to attract more ducks to my decoy spread, I’d have to learn to speak their language. Rolling trills and odd guttural groans audibles seemingly out of place in the duck marsh, but there they were. When I moved to Washington state in ’93, I learned there was more to life than just quacks and quacking. When my waterfowling career began in 1974, I knew only mallard duck calls and the traditional quack in its three or four variations.

Too often these days my phone calls are met with a lack of knowledge of the product line and an unwillingness to provide service. “I couldn't help expressing my thanks for the quick and pleasant service. A proud father and a happy son! It simply does not get any better than this. He doubled on the first set of about 25 geese that came in. The call sounded GREAT and these guys responded very well to it. DJ built the blind we hunted out of set the decoys and blew the call. The first time in the field with this call was on the National Youth day hunt this past weekend. I recently purchased the 800 Goose call for my thirteen-year-old son DJ. “Dear Dave: I am writing to thank you for carrying on the tradition of making functional and affordable calls. I hope your Christmas celebration is special and that the New Year holds many blessings. I just wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your part in making this gift possible. It has quickly become a treasured keepsake. Heck, I was just looking forward to getting the call but the beautiful Walnut box was a wonderful surprise. Imagine my reaction when I opened the package from you to reveal the absolutely incredible work of art in the turkey call and presentation box. “Dear David, Christmas arrived a few weeks early for me yesterday. I think we have a very Avid hunter in the making. “Wow! What a duck call that Sonderman 66 is! My grandson loves it! In fact, he is driving everyone crazy in his house with his practicing.
