Cinnamon x Green-winged Teal (Anas cyanoptera x carolinensis), Gilbert Water Ranch, Maricopa CountyThis Cinnamon x Green-winged Teal was
found by Scott Christopher on 8 December 2013 and
photographed by Andrew Core on 16 December and by Pierre
Deviche on 19 January.
Many species of ducks hybridize, but this is apparently
a rare combination of Cinnamon Teal (Anas cyanoptera) x
Green-winged or Common Teal (Anas carolinensis or Anas
crecca). This bird shows characteristic green and rufous head of a male Green-winged Teal and cinnamon body of a Cinnamon Teal. Additionally, it was similar in size to other Green-winged Teals. 16 December 2013, photo by Andrew Core
