These Blue-winged Teals (Anas discors) were along the roadside as we traveled through the bayous of Louisiana. The diversity of birds in this state is amazing. This duck loves the warm water because it is one of the last ducks to fly back North in the Spring and first to fly South in the Fall. These Teals are great at long distant migration; one individual was banded in Alberta, Canada and shot a month later in Venezuela.
