Field Notes

Description:

White and metallic green on the wings. Bright orangish legs. Yellow tipped beak. Looks beautiful in flight. Very fast movements of the wings while flying. Stays in flocks near rivers and ponds. When it looks for food in shallow waters the back is up and the whole pose looks quite cute.
