3 Teal Day - Correction
|
As Max Brodie points out below, the picture I included in my email was an Eurasian Green-winged Teal, also known as Common Teal.? Its been several years since I've seen that, so I apologize for the error.? On the other hand, I also saw the American Green-winged Teal, so it was a 4 Teal day.
Thanks for catching that, Max.

Beautiful set of teal photos! ?You may not realize that the Green-winged Teal you photographed is the Eurasian subspecies (considered a full species, Common Teal, in Europe). ?The horizontal white stripe and bold white outline to the facial pattern separate it from American Green-winged Teal. This is an excellent find, as they are fairly rare. ?
Bird on,
Max Brodie
