Media notes
Crummy pic but added it for ID purposes. I would have been more diligent in getting a quicker set of pics if I had realized this was a rare bird for this area.
Observation details
One male green winged teal next to a male and female mallard. They took off abruptly - i got the 3 in flight not sure how pic will turn out as it was directly into the sun- Brown head w distinctive large green swath behind the eye. Crummy pic but at least you can see the size difference of the much punier green winged teal in front vs the two mallards behind . Unfortunately The bird is pretty dark in this pic so you can't see the green ear patch that I could clearly see with my bins. The rufous head color is visible however.
