    Not a rarity, but still a beauty

    We have maybe a few dozen Green-Winged Teal here and there in the city through the winter months each year. Today I saw just the one, as opposed to about 300 Mallards (and similar numbers of Jackdaws and Hooded Crows). A few years back I got lucky and happened to see their courtship moves, which...

    The happy couple

    They're usually quite skittish, these wee ducks, but that day they were apparently preoccupied with recent courtship and came quite close (as long as I sat still on the riverbank and didn't make any sudden moves). I didn't get to see them displaying this year, though. While the Goldeneyes are...

    And here's one of the males. They're now all paired off and hiding in less accessible parts of the river, or up in the hills at small ponds. We won't see them at that riverside park again until probably pretty late in the Fall.
