Northern Pintail


Beauty upon the water; as seen in the form of this pair of Northern Pintail Ducks. Enroute to their northern breeding grounds, I sometimes see this long-necked duck species in the spring. The Northern Pintail is a medium sized duck.

Very handsome ducks....I guess he wears "white tie and tails"? I'm sort of surprised that they go even further north than where you are to breed.

mary:
We're not in the north and if the species name has 'northern' attached to it, then it probably doesn't stay around here.

Welcome, Mike.

sandpiper:
We have lots of trees and rivers and lakes and ponds around us; and the birds like it too :-)
