Photos by Dave Kemp 
Blue-winged Teals
(Anas discors)
Male (above) ~ Female (below)
Dave Kemp's great photos of the Blue-winged Teals show the pale blue shoulder patches on both sexes, plus the male's white crescent in front of the eye is very distinctive. This small duck with the comparatively big beak and small head is found coast to coast in Canada, south of the tundra, but is most numerous in the central part of the continent. The west coast is where it is least common, so nice photo captures Dave. Best wishes in your new digs in Comox.
