Eurasian Teal at Tempe Marsh, Jan. 14th, 2011 |
We can't all be good at directions, but it sure helps, especially if you're a duck! Somewhere along the way during migration this
Eurasian Teal turned right when he should have turned left, or visa versa. Either way, lucky for us birders he's decided to mix it up with a small group of
Green-winged Teals at
Tempe Marsh (Tempe Marketplace). What distinguishes him from the Green-winged Teals is his lack of a vertical white shoulder bar, and that he has a more prominent horizontal white scapular-stripe. Photo below shows the comparison.
