GREEN-WING TEAL 



May 27, 1895 



THE only wild duck I have ever seen 

 around here, except the flocks one 

 sees flying through the sky in the spring 

 and fall. This solitary individual was 

 in a marsh on the road to the spring. 

 His chestnut head and neck, light back and 

 breast, and the white crescent on his side 

 just ahead of the wing, were his striking 

 marks.
