Nice capture of the Green-winged Teal! I do not remember seeing them last year, but I did see them the other day.

Love the iridescent green on wing. Nice benefit of using flash.

Excellent work David. The colors, details, and exposure look great. Good use of flash to fill.
Beautiful bird!

Great captures of the Green-winged Teal David...agree with Scott's comment...don't recall seeing very many of these last year...mostly Blue-winged Teal...they seemed to be plentiful this year especially at El Franco Lee Park...
