CDMOOSE Cream of the Crop  More info | May 15, 2014 13:54 | #1 Both of these teal species have foiled my photographic attempts until this spring. The green-wing I shot this weekend on Lake Superior's north shore and the blue-wing was here at home earlier this season.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

If they had only known how good you'd make them look I'm certain they wouldn't have avoided you for this long  cannylad wrote in post #16907734 Found both of these birds on my patch in the UK, the BW teal caused quite a stir as its quite rare over here.

Looking back through my archives, I see that I actually had a few decent shots of a BWT from last summer, but none of a GWT. So, I'm rather pleased with my success. Al

The Duluth end of Superior still has a lot of ice blowing about in the winds, but fortunately for the ducks they can fly. Thanks my friend. Grizz wrote in post #16908789 Very beautiful shots Al.
