Hi all,

During the Grays Harbor CBC on this past Saturday, I found this female Teal and have initially identified it as a Blue-winged. I am using the field marks of a dark eye line behind the eye, white at the base of the bill, crisp/bold pattern on the flanks, and a pure black bill. The photo doesn't capture all the marks, but does give a good view.

I have a photo up on my Flickr page:

Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!
