Been a pretty good year so far. Until the last few days the mild winter has kept the big water open. Lately though, a few have started to move to the rivers and creeks. Mostly mallards with a few teal.

Tonight was a truly unexpected surprise. Shortly after this picture was taken I got another pair. These are not common in this area and I was pretty excited.
