Aquatic Birds

Girl Power

Just a couple of gals hanging out and trying not to be noticed by the paparazzi. Attempts to conceal identity are not very effective. Ms mallard, I recognize you by your size and those bright orange legs. Ms blue-winged teal thinks she is clever by showing her green speculum and hiding her blue shoulder patches. Trying to pass herself off as a green-winged teal. Ha, y'all don't fool me.
