Regal Gadwall
We decided to return to Sacramento National Wildlife Refuge. With all the rain California has experienced of late, sunny days have been few and far between. It was nice to see water everywhere, and we mean everywhere. Gadwall populations have grown exponentially over the past several decades, surpassing pintails, green-winged teal, and wigeon to become the fourth most numerous ducks, exceeded only by mallards, lesser scaup, and blue-winged teal.
