~Blue-winged Teal~
Leonabelle Turner Birding Center
Port Aransas, TX

Never saw a duck like this before and wondered why they were called a blue-winged teal when there didn't seem to be any blue present on their wings...until he took off - the beautiful powder blue patches on the wing area are only visible in flight.

  What a beautiful looking duck Valarie. Love his markings, even without any hint of blue, and the bright green surroundings. Great detail and reflection too!

  The color contrast between the "almost dead duck" and the bg is fantastic Valarie! Your dof gives the bg an abstract look putting more emphasis on the duck!
