Observation details
This morning a Blue-winged Teal is resting in the pond. Overall color greyish but flanks slightly more rufous with blackish spots. Pale grey line along tail. Upon approaching I flushed the duck. As it circled the little lake several times (before alighting on the lake) I got good views of the wings: the sky-blue, white and teal areas above and the pure white below, bordered with black. Also I saw orange legs. I learn after consulting Sibley that the sky-blue (not grey-blue) on the wing means it is a male (in non-breeding plumage).
