Aquatic Birds

Male Gadwall In Flight

There is a flock of Gadwall Ducks wintering on the upper spillway at White Rock Lake. They have been there for several weeks now. The males have black rumps and the females have speckled rumps. I managed to catch this one in flight as it flew off the dam towards the spillway.
