Wetland +365 | Green-Winged Teal ______ 00_SZN3110-Enhanced-NR-1 copy
When distanced and without a scale of reference such as another duck nearby, female Green-Winged Teals (aka, American teals) are easy to misidentified as female Mallard Ducks. The Green-Winged Teal is the smallest dabbling duck of North America. The female Teal is distinguished from the female mallard by its green speculum, a patch of shiny, vividly colored feathers on the back of the Teal’s wing.
