Assiscong Blue-winged Teal

Just one more sign of spring, a drake Blue-winged Teal has spent the last few days at Assiscong Marsh.

Not the greatest shot, but considering it was over 150 yards away, not bad for the Canon P500 at 576 mm (the equivalent of 3270 mm on a 35mm camera).

Also at the marsh were Tree Swallows and an Eastern Screech-Owl (also over 100 yards away) in nest boxes.  Bird love is in the air!
