Hanging Out

I was able to fit in a quick auto tour at the Refuge yesterday, between showers that helped keep the pollen count low. I found 2 Blue-winged Teal drakes hanging out together, the "girls" missing and probably sitting on nest.

Nice colors and details, especially in the large version. Maybe a tiny bit of CW rotation?

Really nice warm colors on your duck. I would remove one of the catchlights in the eye if possible and agree with the very slight cw rotation. Very nice capture! Sharon
