Lately I haven’t had a chance to do any hiking to take pictures of wildlife, so the following photo comes from a previous outing in early December at the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge. It shows five Green-winged Teals foraging for food. They were very small dabbler ducks but they also swam very fast as evidenced by the long wake behind them.
Green-winged Teals.

One of my favorite ducks, as a kid I was part of a group called the Green Wing Teals, because we were just kids and not yet Mallards 🙂

That’s a good, funny one. I’ll have to tell the Mallards, they may like it. 🙂

They look so sweet- I love to watch ducks swim- it’s that nonchalant way in which they furiously paddle!

You are so right Sukanya! Underneath their feet were probably whirring like crazy.
