Eastern Travis County (small pond on FM 973 across from Decker Lake), Tuesday afternoon around 6:00. I was taking photos of eight Northern Shovelers, when I realized that one pair wasn't shovelers. Didn't get a chance to look at them until last night. http://tinypic.com/r/nc1gqo/8 Closer view of the pair: http://tinypic.com/r/15cit7n/8 So, are those blue-winged teal, based on the head pattern of the male? These birds seemed slightly larger than the shovelers. $100 worth of new bird books, and they're at my girlfriend's house...
