In New England it was Mallards, here it’s all about the Blue Winged Teal. Very common to see them in the wild. Mallards still dominate parks and public spaces though. They are much more at ease with people.

I don’t publish many Teal photographs since I don’t like the harsh glare or colors in the open marsh water. These birds are low to the water so glare is common. I think the reeds here helped the shot.
