Blue Winged Teal Duck Relaxing

            On a beautiful day, what else to do, other than sit, relax and pose for a photo shoot! This duck had the right attitude.

Pairs and small groups gather and dabble near submerged vegetation. One will often find Blue-winged Teal with other species of dabbling ducks. They are often around the edges of ponds under vegetation, choosing a concealed spot to forage or rest. Pairs and small groups of this tiny dabbling duck inhabit shallow ponds and wetlands across much of North America. Blue-winged Teal are long distance migrants, with some birds heading all the way to South America.

Taken with the 800mm Lens with a 1.4x extender. This bird became right at reach from the distance he was at.
