A Blue-winged Teal on 17 May 2021 at the Billy Frank Jr National Wildlife Refuge. Despite being fairly common in Washington, this drake is only our second record as we begin our third year in the region. This small duck breeds across most of Canada and the United States and winters in the extreme south of the United States south into northern South America. Continental population numbers depend on sufficient rainfall in the prairie pothole region of north-central US and Canada.
