Indeed, the side stripe stands out dramatically! Just to clarify, that list with photos was from last weekend up close to Mud Lock. By the time we saw the one you guys found, it was quite distant, so today's photo was far from what I would consider nice: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=

Thanks, Jay, for checking out this bird. We were so struck by the horizontal white stripe that we had not considered the hybrid. We missed the faint vertical stripe that your nice picture shows. Diane On Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 3:20 PM, Jay McGowan wrote: > We are there now. The bird is farther

We are there now. The bird is farther out, with a group of other Green-winged Teal along the edge of the ice in amongst Aythya. It appears to be a EURASIAN X AMERICAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL--bold white horizontal shoulder stripe as in Eurasian but with a faint trace of the vertical shoulder stripe, ofte

Found by Tim Lenz a little while ago, a male EURASIAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL is currently hanging around with a couple of American Green-winged and other ducks and geese at the SW corner of Seneca Lake, viewed from the pulloff just east of Watkins Glen or from the park at the south end. -- Cayugabirds

By the way, I was not able to find the Common Teal yesterday morning. The teal numbers were way down from a few days ago (about 15 instead of close to 80), but a lot of water had opened up on the east end where there is a lot of vegetation, and a lot of the dabblers were in there, so I could easily

The teal was still there when I left at 9:45. All the ducks took flight shortly after I posted, but luckily almost all of them settled in again after a few minutes. When I left, the best viewing was from Rt. 38 at Hart Road, where you can pull off on the north side or park on Hart Road and scope
