Solitude

I have been trying to get a good photo of a Blue-winged Teal for a couple weeks. I think this is a beautiful photo. Their best colors show up in flight but this is beautiful.

Not A Pond

This picture would lead you believing that these Blue-winged Teal are floating on a pond or lake. The reality is this is a floaded field and they seem to love it.

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.
