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?)
