Blue winged teal (Anas discors) |
A species found primarily in the northern prairies
and parklands of central North America. Generally they are the first
ducks south in the autumn and the last north in the spring, migrating
as far south as central south America. These are dabbling ducks feeding
on a diet of aquatic plants, seeds, and large amounts of aquatic invertebrates
found in shallowly flooded wetlands. This is a species that I have only
seen the once whilst visiting slimbridge but would dearly love to photograph
again. |
