Today I got some shots that shows the Gadwal female in flight. The red markings on the wings does not show when she is on the ground or swimming. Rather nice coloring I think.  :)

  1. Nice photos of the Gadwall - especially the first in-flight one. It's great to see you have some open water and not all ice!
