The Eurasian Teal I reported before from Canning Abouteau, in a rather abbreviated message from the area, seems to have some American Green-winged Teal genes - namely a faint vertical crescent like American Green-wing as well as the longitudinal white scapular stripe typical of Eurasian Teal. This was evident in the field, as Richard Stern and I noted at the time, and shows nicely in Richard's excellent digiscope shot. It's interesting that the American Green-winged Teal with it were paired, but the apparent hybrid Eurasian was alone - showing the perils of moral turpitude, even in ducks. Eric Eric L.
