Observation details
Two small streaky brown ducks with dark eye lines, whitish eye arcs, and slightly spatulate bills. The outer tail feathers were the same brown as the other tail feathers. The birds had larger bills than Green-winged Teal. The birds had dull yellowish orange feet and legs. The birds had powder blue secondary coverts and greenish secondaries. Seen well from within 5 - 15 m as they fed together in the flooded margins of the creek. Watched them for over 15 minutes. Photos attached, including three that show both birds together.
