Blue-winged Teal Pair

I was sitting on a bench at the edge of the swamp watching a Great Blue Heron when this pair of Blue-winged Teals swam by.

The pair mostly stayed together, only rarely separating for a solo photograph.

The Great Blue Heron can easily see over the vegetation, watching for lunch as more Teals swam behind him.

The Teal pair quickly did a U-turn when the open water ended near where the Heron stood and went back where they came from.
