Description
A pair of Northern Pintails cruises a local Marsh looking for their next place to feed. This image shows green in the drake's head plumage which is an irredescent aspect of the sidelighting - much like a hummingbird's throat. Sometimes this patch appears purple but this morning it came out green.
