Blue-winged Teal



I was quite thrilled today to see a pair of Blue-winged Teal.  Up until this year I can never remember them coming to the pond.  The three amigo Mallards that call the wetland area their turf seemed a bit disturbed by the appearance of the Teals.  They banded together and harassed them or maybe it was just curiosity but they sure made a point of swimming up to and around them wherever they went.
