Green-winged Teal

New York City, New York

Surrounded by the orange-brown reflections of fading November foliage, a green-winged teal hen paddles through a small patch of open water. I made the trip from Montreal to New York City just to photograph this bird, who was one of a pair hanging out in Central Park. The other residents of the pond didn't make things easy on us at all, and many good chances were unceremoniously blocked by mallards and Canada geese, who couldn't have cared much less about our efforts at photography. As tame as these green-winged teal were, pictures like this one turned out to be few and far between!
