Blue Winged Teal (female)
Anas discors
26.3587, -80.0831
Field Notes
Description:
Similar to the mottled ducks which are common here, but smaller, slimmer, lighter overall in color and with a longer, solid gray beak unlike the mottleds. It appears to be an adult female blue winged teal.
Habitat:
An inland fresh water canal
Notes:
This duck definitely looks unlike the others that are in the area and is the only one of its kind that I have seen. Also this individual has no discernible speculum in a contrasting color like blue or purple as the others do though I did not see it on land or flying so it might be hidden.
