When I first moved to this area, something that I really noticed was the number of sloughs and the incredible number of waterfowl that made them home. Growing up in Southern Alberta, I saw ducks but nothing compared to what we have here. One is hard pressed to find a puddle not inhabited by some form of waterfowl! When you truly getting looking at these small bodies of water, its amazing the number of different waterfowl that can be found. I believe there are at least 4 different kind in this snap shot. Front and centre with the beautiful white neck, is a Northern Pintail, hiding behind the grass, to its left, is a pair of Blue-Winged Teals, in the background are a couple of Green-Winged Teals, and there is also a mallard crouched down in the grass!
