"Yes Dear!"

by Craig Strand

Gallery: AvianPosted May 4, 201397 views6 comments
After watching this Cinnamon Teal hen take her bath, she climbed up on shore for some preening and feather maintenance. Her admiring mate soon joined her and while she filled him in on the latest gossip from the gadwall down the slough, he seemed to listen intently and utter an occasional "YES Dear!"

You don't say! LOL! Beautiful colors and great with the pair. The greens seem to be overpowering the smaller image, but look fine on the larger one. Nice get! Sharon
