Life at the Annapolis Royal Marsh: Teal green teal

Teal green teal

This fellow, a male green-winged teal, was all by his lonesome Saturday at the marsh. His green wing feathers (speculum) are easily seen here, and his head is beginning to take on its breeding plumage colours.

Wow, that's a bright green. I was under the impression the green was more subdued like the blue. It actualy looks painted on.

How to Post a Comment

It seems there's some confusion as to how to make a comment, so I hope these directions make it easier (I like getting feedback).

Step 1: Under any posting, click on "O comments" (or "1 comment" or "2 comments", whatever the case may be). A new window will open, titled "Post a Comment" above a big blank space.

Step 2: Under the big space you'll see "Comment as" followed by a small space with a little blue box at the right end with a "v" in it. Click on the "v", and a menu will drop down.

Step 3: Click on "Name/URL" in the menu, and another window will open, titled "Edit profile". Enter your name, and ignore the URL part. Click "Continue".

Step 4: Write your comment in the big box.

Step 5: Click "Post Comment" (or you can click "Preview" first if you want to edit your comment before posting)

That's it! 'Hope to hear from you.
