[SBB] Wilson's Warbler & hybrid? Green-winged Teal

[[[email protected]]]

All,

 

This morning Frank Vanslager and I once again missed the Northern Waterthrush (twice) in the Charleston Rd Marsh.  We did however have really good views of a male WILSON'S WARBLER (most likely the same bird reported earlier by Dean Manley) near the pump house.  Later, in Stevens Creek, we had a male Green-winged Teal that had only the slightest hint of a white chest bar, it also did not have the bold white horizontal wing stripe (looked very much like that on Green-winged Teal, black with a white edge) of the Eurasian Green-winged Teal.  Our feeling was that this is most likely an American x Eurasian Green-winged Teal hybrid.  Got a couple good photos for future reference.

 

Take care,

Bob Reiling
