Description

A Blue-winged Teal at Waverly Hills Pond in Tallahassee. The dark bill, the white arcs around the eye, the dark eye-line, and the white at the base of the bill help to identify it. I watched it for a good 20 minutes trying to get a peak at its wing to be sure of the ID. It finally flew off showing off its bright blue wing patch. I believe this is a female.
