A Blue-Wing?

It was great to see these Blue-winged Teals in the pond at big woods this week.

So, where is the blue? It shows up when they are flying.

Another Couple

I guess love is in the air. Little ducks soon ..

Have you ever seen the blue in the wings of the male Blue-winged Teal. It is beautiful, but you can't see it in this photo.

Lone Teal

This is not the first Blue-winged Teal I have seen this spring, but it is the first time I have been able to capture a photo of one. This male was alone on this small pond.

Spring Couple

While hiking this week we saw several Blue-winged Teals in this seasonal pond. I love the colors of the males. So cool.
