this pair is nesting in a pond along the road, and i have no idea what breed that drake is. has anyone ever seen one like it? i tried to check online, but came up empty handed. on edit: davev has identified them as blue wing teal. thanks, dave :)

i just happened to have the S2 IS with me and shot out the car window. did a little PP to remove a fence wire in the foreground.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Great job. I too think it's the blue winged teal. Lovely!
