Green-winged teal

  • A mount of a green-winged teal (Anas carolinensis).

Collected from near Hog Creek, McLennan Co., Texas by Dr. James W. Jolliff between 1975 and 1989.

The green-winged teal is the smallest species of American dabbling ducks. Dabbling ducks are those that feed on or near the surface of the water instead of diving for food.
