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.

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.

Last week we saw the male Hooded Merganser in the small creek near this pond. Today he was hanging out with his date in the pond. It is spring, so perhaps they are nesting nearby .. or just on a hot date.

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. 😂

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