All - Common Teal (Eurasian form of our Green-winged Teal) will likely be split (back) into a separate species at sometime in the future. Even as a rare/unusual form or subspecies, this is a records committee "reviewable" sighting. As a possible future species--put it into the bank. Submissions of written documentation/photos are encouraged. (Same bird as was present at this location last year?) Phil At 03:43 PM 12/13/1999 -0500, Donald H.

The drake bird shows the horizontal white bar and lack of vertical stripe. It was seen Sun. and Mon. in the rear pond.
