Perfect Pintail

The Pintails (Anas acuta) are among the first ducks to migrate south in the fall and north in the spring. Over half of the pintail population in North America migrates through California. The majority of these birds winter in the Central Valley of California, but some continue south to the west coast of Mexico. Pintails using the Central Flyway winter in the Texas Panhandle and the Gulf Coast of Texas and western Louisiana. The majority of pintails use the Mississippi Flyway winter in Louisiana with smaller numbers wintering in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. They migrate in Large, high-flying flocks in a wide crescent. They are fast and graceful with speeds of 65 MPH. This Drake was photographed at White Rock Lake in Dallas, Texas.
