Blue-winged Teal } Photo by Ray Hennessy - Taken near Vero Beach, Florida, United States.

"A species on my list to photograph during my time spent in Florida was the Blue-winged Teal. I found this location which had the lovely aquatic grass which I thought was a perfect setting for them. Since I liked the location so much I tried a few different times to get good shots of them there and they just never came in quite as close as I had hoped for. I did really like this photo that showed off the grasses and habitat a bit as well as the striking male in the open and the female hanging back in the grasses."
