The pair of Blue-winged Teal ducks were feeding on the pond this week. They usually nest on the ground after the female selects a spot. She looks for a place near water with grass cover to hide her eggs.
This pair of Teal Spatula discor dabble to search among the reeds for something to eat.
Like many bird species, the female is drab speckled brown for hiding among grasses while nesting. He is decked out for courting in colorful cinnamon front, speckled sides, black head with a white crescent on each side. Both have blue feathers on the wings which are displayed when they fly.
