Description
Green-winged Teal shaking water off his wings after dabbling underwater for some food.
The little Green-winged Teal is our smallest dabbling duck in North America. Very common and widespread, remaining through the winter farther north than other teal. In flight, both sexes flash deep-green wing patches (specula). Flocks in flight appear very fast because of small size, with rapid twisting and turning in unison. Look for them on shallow ponds and in flooded fields, and listen for the male’s decidedly non-ducklike whistle. These common ducks breed along northern rivers; wintering flocks can number as many as 50,000.
