Wood Duck

We saw a wood duck couple this week. I love the colors of the male wood duck. So beautiful.

Owning It

In past years we have seen Great Blue Herons at this spot (at Big Woods) frequently. It has been a long time since the saw one here. It was great to see. She clearly owns this spot.

Lost Swans?

This field is not where I expected to see a Trumpeter Swan. There was actually two of them. Maybe they were avoiding the high water levels in the river.

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.

American Wigeon

I am farily confident that this is a female American Wigeon. I sure wish I was able to photograph a male but not this time. The photo is not great. Regardless, there she was.
