Spotted 2 dozen or so Teal suspects at Howard Marsh in Northwestern Ohio. They were actively feeding at a distance. Looked like Eurasian Green Winged Teal ( some with green on wing). Din't see shoulder stripe, and wonder if they are females, juveniles, mixed flock or hybrids of some type. Any insight would be appreciated.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Definitely Green winged teal Top 3. Maybe American black ducks 2, and last is a Non bereding Male Northern Shovler!

That's a green-winged teal. And the last one (the bottom one) is a male northern shoveler.

Greetings Lee! The top three pictures are definitely green-winged teals, and I am fairly sure the bottom one is a Northern Shoveler. The fourth one I cannot be sure about, but I think they are also Northern Shovelers. I hope this helps! Happy Birding!
