Avian Image of the Week for the week ending May 17th, 2013: David Salem - Drake Cinnamon Teal - Wings Down

Congratulations David!

Caught this colorful drake during this winters migration at a local beach estuary . These little ducks are fast and fun to try to capture. Got some nice eye contact and a pretty cool down wing pose on this one.
