Hunting On The Caspian Coast

These Azerbaijani hunters set out at 5 a.m. in search of waterfowl on the Caspian coast.

Many species of ducks, coots, and geese live in the coastal area.

The hunters wait patiently on wooden platforms in the shallow water.

Some of the day's catch will be eaten right away. The rest will be sold at local markets.
