Are you coming??



When I climbed into one of the viewing stands this morning, I noticed a duck sitting a little ways out on the water quacking away, while looking toward the cattails that border the marsh. It wasn't long before another duck swam out of the cattails towards the first duck, then they flew off together. After a closer look, I realized that the "quacking" one was a female Green-winged Teal (top photo), and the one in the cattails was a male, possibly her mate (bottom photo). Notice the rust color starting to show on the male's chin, and a bit of green beginning to come through on his head.
