Coastal Worcester County, Maryland in late January. Last updated: 1/26/2010.
Above: The highlight of the weekend was a drake Common Teal, the Eurasian counterpart to Green-winged Teal, amidst nearly 600 Green-winged Teal at Truitt's Landing, Maryland (1/24/2010). This is a very rare visitor to the state, with seven or so other reports (some pending review) in the last 10 years. Found by Dan Small and me, it was an exciting first in the U.S. for both of us.
