On 15 March 2022, Erika and I discovered one other of the European race of the Inexperienced-winged Teal. It foraged in nearly precisely the identical location on the hen we noticed a number of weeks in the past on the Nisqually Nationwide Wildlife Refuge, on 1 March 2022. This duck lacks the white, vertical side-stripe of American Inexperienced-winged Teal however doesn’t seem like the identical person that beforehand noticed. The pale facial traces don’t appear to be as distinct. Additionally, the horizontal, white physique stripe is extra obvious.
