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:

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.

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
Livia and I just found a EURASIAN X AMERICAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL intergrade
off the Towpath Machine Shop in Cayuga, south of Mud Lock.

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
