These Gadwalls were observed in Carrollton’s Nob Hill Greenbelt Park. A group of three male Gadwalls was seen first. They were soon joined by a female Gadwall and then a male and female American Wigeon. These pictures were taken on December 26. The temperature on this day was frigid and there was still snow on the ground from a rare North Texas White Christmas.
