Yellow-billed teal are a duck species native to the southern half of South America. This flock was flying over a lake in Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonian Chile. A bit of rain and autumn colors on the hillside provided a nice backdrop. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 3200, f/4 at 1/3200th of a second.
What a lovely image. We see green-winged teal, blue-winged teal & cinnamon teal here in the northwest, but the yellow-billed teal is s new species to me. The autumnal colors in the background certainly enhance your image, Sean. Thanks for sharing!
