Blue-winged x Cinnamon Teal (hybrid), Sweet Springs Nature Preserve, Los Osos, CA

This is possibly the same wintering bird first recorded at Sweet Springs Nature Preserve in Feb 2018, although there was a one-year gap in 2021.

Research in 2018 suggested that this bird has parentage of both these species. --- See photo of a captive hybrid of known parentage: www.10000birds.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/bluewingedx...
