Back from the sunny south



The migrants are slowing returning to the marsh - this morning I saw the first Green-winged Teals, two pair to be exact. They are one of the earliest of the ducks to return to the marsh, and our smallest dabbling duck. The drake, in full breeding plumage, is seen in the top photo, with the hen, showing her green speculum, in the bottom one.
