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.

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.

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.
