Those stately greenheads may be the flashiest of all the ducks on the pond, but blue-winged teal always grab the most attention with Texas’ early bird waterfowl crowds. The bell is ringing especially loud these days. The statewide early teal season in Texas got underway at 30 minutes before sunrise on Sept. 14. The season runs for 16 consecutive days through Sept. 29. Teal are always the first migrant ducks to pass through Texas each fall and the last to trek north in spring.

Mexicans will go to the polls on June 2, 2024, to pick a president following an election campaign marred by violence and divisive political rhetoric. Polls suggest that ruling party candidate Claudia Sheinbaum will win, holding off rival Xóchitl Gálvez, who heads up a left-right coalition. Unpredictability over the size of the turnout may remain a factor, but barring any major shocks, Mexico will have its first woman president when all the votes are counted.

Best of luck @androofrench — you’ll be missed. Have really enjoyed your reporting these past years. Please post the leaving spike…us Watford fans could do with a laugh!
The first piece of confirmed #watfordfc related transfer news for this summer https://t.co/kt9A7sKPET
A @WatfordFC away loss with lots of positives for next year. Ngakia and Wiley both excellent, Louza very solid. Dwomoh looked good. I feel more positive about next season than I did this time a year ago.
Has any Brit living in the US had any interaction with the US health insurance system which has not left them fuming. $284 for a ten min consultation to get PT referral for tennis elbow…why do we pay in every month for insurance when it pays for squat? What a scam. #ImisstheNHS
