This wildlife photograph captures a pair of cinnamon teal ducks in a shallow wetland habitat. The striking male on the left displays his distinctive russet-red breeding plumage with dark wings, while the camouflaged female on the right shows typical mottled brown coloring. They swim through calm water interspersed with patches of yellow-green algae or aquatic vegetation. The image was captured at the Yolo Bypass Wetlands using a telephoto lens with extender, allowing for intimate documentation of these waterfowl while maintaining a respectful distance.
