Late this morning I found a male EURASIAN GREEN-WINGED TEAL in with a flock of American Green-winged Teal at the Visitor Center pool at Montezuma NWR, Seneca County. It was fairly easy to pick out from the Americans by the lack of shoulder bar, although the white side stripe was often obscured. I uploaded a couple of digiscoped photos to the checklist for the moment:
https://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist/S35443615 Many thousands of other dabblers are in the less frozen areas of the refuge, but we were unable to find any Eurasian Wigeon or anything else out of the ordinary. Thousands of Aythya continue at the north end of Cayuga Lake as well. Two SNOWY OWLS continue on Lott Farm in Seneca Falls.
