Latter at 6:30 to about 7:10 ish I went to Pickering Creek in Talbot County  
to look for the    Common  Teal   which  is the Eurasian form of  Green 
Winged Teal, after some   searching it was located in the fock of  Green 
Winged  Teals and Blue Wings. Had great looks through the spotting scope but 
at a distance. I tried  to photograph it But it hangs out just far enough 
out and moves enough for that to not workout. In fact this was The third try 
to see the bird And second  try to  get a picture. I first tried on  sat 
April   2  between Rain drops in the morning . the Green Wing Teal were 
there and no sooner than I started Scoping them  than an immature Bald  
Eagle  was soaring around an scared all the Teal off .
    On Mon April  4, 05 I tried again in the afternoon  6;00 Pm to 7:00 pm 
after  rather short search the bird was located but soon  vanished not to 
seen  again that day.   Once the Common Teal was found it  was easy to 
compare the slightly smaller size compared to the Green winged Teal and see 
the  longitudinal white stripe on the scapulars. it was a life Subspecies
