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.

Not So Plain Gadwall

This is a Gadwall duck. Sadly it was super cloudy and the lack of sun resulted in this photos lack of detail. This duck is actually very interesting to see but to get that you need to click the link above. Maybe I'll get another chance later this year.

Intricate Plumage

This time it was a pair of Wood Ducks. The male has this amazing intricate plumage. It is spring and this pair must be on a date. 😂

Elegant Hooded Merganser 🦆

This is a Hooded Merganser. What a cool duck. They are fish eaters too - a fellow carnnivore.
