Green-winged Teal Pair Foraging in Shallow Wetland
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 11:03:59 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
This wildlife photograph captures two Green-winged Teal ducks foraging in a shallow, marshy wetland area. The male (drake) is visible on the right with his distinctive chestnut head and green eye patch, while a mottled brown female (hen) feeds to the left. The habitat shows typical early spring conditions with sparse vegetation, stubble from last season's growth, and shallow standing water. The birds are actively feeding, likely probing the mud for seeds, invertebrates, and aquatic plants. The muted earth tones and bare vegetation suggest early spring in a seasonal wetland or flooded agricultural field.
