Green-winged Teal here on its annual visit to our area.

We usually see the Green-winged Teal here in late winter or early spring. This one was seen in Delta Ponds. I think they are pretty with their varied colors. Here we can see a bit of the green wing, often not seen when they are in the water. I wonder where it traveled from?

According to "All About Birds" https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Green-winged_Teal/lifehistory): "Migrates from northern North America via all major flyways—Pacific, Central, Mississipi, and Atlantic—to reach wintering grounds from coastal British Columbia to as far south as Central America."

Wonderful shot, Vern, and great detail.

Dumb bird, though - doesn't know what colour "teal" is.

'Anas creca'! We have them both in Portugal, and here in Japan! 1st I thought they were rare in here, but then I saw a few!
Yours has a superb position! V
