Description: Not all Blue-Winged Teals migrate. The Texan Rio Grande Valley is on location where some remain all year and even breed. Only 5 miles from my camp in Brownsville (Texas), I paid a brief, 3+ hour visit to this sanctuary on this foggy damp morning. |

Gadwall(Mareca strepera) |
|
Description: This drake Gadwall intently followed this coot as it foraged. I couldn’t tell how it benefitted, but perhaps the coot stirred up morsels from below the surface that the duck could exploit. Only 5 miles from my camp in Brownsville (Texas), I paid a brief, 3+ hour visit to this sanctuary on this foggy damp morning. |

Gadwall(Mareca strepera) |
|
Description: Unlike the Blue-Winged Teal wintering in south Texas, Gadwall rarely breed here. So these birds will probably leave Texas soon. Only 5 miles from my camp in Brownsville (Texas), I paid a brief, 3+ hour visit to this sanctuary on this foggy damp morning. |

Least Grebe(Tachybaptus dominicus) |
|
Description: The extreme rearward position of its feet made this bird’s attempt to climb onto this stump awkward. The Least Grebes were highly vocal this morning. I suspect they were courting and/or pair-bonding. Only 5 miles from my camp in Brownsville (Texas), I paid a brief, 3+ hour visit to this sanctuary on this foggy damp morning. |
