Green-winged Teal on the Fox River in Waukesha Wisconsin on January 9, 2022

By admin | January 9, 2022 - 6:17 pm |January 10, 2022 Ducks, Geese, and Swans

One of my birding stops today gave nice views of a beautiful Green-winged Teal on the Fox River in Waukesha. This male hung around with Mallards and Canada Geese as if it was one of them. I check this place often in winter months as you never know what will show up. It was a cold day with temps at 14 degrees with plenty of sunshine and a good breeze, we are in January, no surprise. Images were taken on January 9, 2022.
