Northern Pintail’s Return

The Pintails return for winter. Yolo bypass was full of birds, including this handsome Pintail Drake. The dilemma: They were all hanging out in the middle of the lake. We captured this Pintail that was hanging around, close to the shore, looking for food. Slim and long-necked, the Northern Pintail has a distinctive silhouette. The male is easy to identify by his striking markings and long tail.
