We are now at the letter "T." So, add your images of anything with wings that start with the letter "T" in its name, species, or taxon. Of course, anything with wings is welcome regardless of the letter "T." The letters U, X, and Z are difficult letters for winged critters and things. So, those 3 letters will be combined and posted under the Letter "U" next week.

Green-winged Teal
Green-wing teals in my experience are hard to photograph because they are very small ducks and flush before you're close enough for the shot. As usual, this guy flew before I got close. However this time he reversed directions banking directly in front of me. BTW, This is my favorite perspective for ducks in flight.

That's my spark bird, Alan. The species that lit the birding fire in me. I love the name rufous-sided. Regrettably, in 1995 the Rufous-sided Towhee was split, resulting in two distinct species, the eastern (this one) and the spotted towhee. Gorgeous photo
