Flying Colors

            "Flying colors"
This was truly a serendipitous moment for me. While at Bear River Migratory Bird refuge in Utah, one of my goals was to capture a male Cinnamon Teal in flight. They are such beautiful ducks, especially in the spring with their breeding plumage. WELL, don't ya just know, I saw this pair about to take flight and low and behold, I captured this image. I was fortunate to get quite a number of photos of these Teals during my trip. I find them to be some of the most beautiful ducks in north America. The female is in the lead....as she should be! 😁
