The Blue-winged Teal has a subtle beauty that really grows on you. It lives in North America but migrates to Central and parts of South America. Some even rarely make it to Europe.
Classification:
Order: Anseriformes
Family: Anatidae
Genus: Anas
Species: A. discors
Some have disputed its place in Anas, so it may be moved to another genus or even have a new one named.
