The first photo is the calm before the storm.
I am not sure if the 2nd shot caught a mating ritual but they full on body slammed! 😳

A brown duck leaps into smooth water. The duck has its wings and tail outstretched. There are patches of light blue, white, and bright green on each wing.

This is my acrylic painting of a blue-winged teal on a lake with reeds and cattails, which was painted on wood. fineartamerica.com/featured/blu...

A blue winged teal with patterned brown plumage splashes in shallow water, wings spread to reveal striking blue-green and white feathers against the dark reflections of reeds. Ripples bloom around her wings, Blue and green flash like hidden jewels, The marsh applauds her dance.

Even the smallest ripple can reveal hidden brilliance.

A duck stirs the marsh, flashing vibrant blue-green feathers as water droplets trail from her wings—an ordinary moment transformed into color and motion.

If you ever wondered why they are called Blue-winged Teals, well this photo is a pretty bit of evidence that they got this one right.

Often there are so many teals, mallards and shovelers that we don't look closely enough. These two were by the road & turned out to be a lifer for us! A pair of beautiful Blue Winged Teals! Not rare but unusual for our area

Blue-winged teals are not as plentiful as they used to be. The males are strikingly patterned while the females sport drab browns. This shot taken a few years ago of a male that was hanging out alone in a duck pond of several dozen mallards and geese. #bird #duck #wildlife #nature #bluewingedteal
