Description
This Blue-winged Teal seems to have put on his best bling and set his head at a confident jaunt for his portrait. To add to the drama a puff of wind ruffled his feathers at the right moment reminding me of a famous Marilyn Monroe image. I set up my ground blind that day by the log, hoping for just such an image to develop. And on this day, it did.
