This seems to be typical behavior for the Teals at Wakodahatchee. They will sit there, do some vibrating, some tail standing, then back to sitting there. Interesting to watch. Canon D60/100-400mm IS L/EX550

Robert,

A very nice behavior shot!. This is one time a low shooting angle would not have worked.

I've seen this species frequently yet I have never seen them quaking like this! Very interesting.

I don't recall seeing this either so its interesting behavior. BWT's are very beautiful ducks and I know how tough it is to get low at Wakodahatchee.

Very interesting...I've never seen this behavior. Under normal circumstances I would recommend trying to get lower but in this one....looking down is what was needed.
