Blue-Winged Teal

Post by BornBad » August 1st, 2004, 7:51 am

Their small size and twisting turning flight gives the illusion of great speed. The small compact flocks commonly fly low over the marshes, and often take the hunter by surprise. They are more vocal than most ducks- their high pitched peeping and nasal quacking is commonly heard in spring and to a lesser extent in the fall.



These teal are among the first ducks to migrate each fall, and one of the last in the spring.



Length: 16"

Weight: 15 oz

I'm not sure I have ever seen one... Never had an interest in bird watching.
