Blue-winged Teals, Mississippi Valley, Green Island Wetlands, Iowa
The Easter weekend started with gorgeous and warm weather today. I had some plans in mind for some photography from inside the new photo blind but decided instead to open the kayak season. We have never done it that early in a year.
Many ducks are in the Green Island Wetlands and I heard that up north in Minnesota is still some snow and ice on the ground. The ducks don’t always wait until the photographer is close enough with the boat for a picture. These three Blue-winged Teals made an exception and showed me the bluish part of their wings during take off. I thought it was a good opener for the kayak season and it is a shot I wanted to make since a long time. More to come, please stay tuned…
