associated with a Hen Mallard x Hawaiian Duck
Observation details
American Green-winged Teal spotted following a hen hawaiian/mallard hybrid around mud flats. Very distinct cinnamon and green head with clean colors and definitive white shoulder bar. No signs of injury or illness to indicate why it would stay over summer. No leg bands. This Drake Teal/Hen Mallard x Hawaiian duck were together continuously, foraging, swimming, roosting and preening together. The hen chased other ducks away from herself and her teal partner.
