Waterfowling Hot Spots - Green Winged Teal By David A. Maass

Waterfowling Hot Spots - Green Winged Teal by David A. Maass

Green-winged Teal, more than any other species of duck, prefer to seek food on mud flats. Where mud flats are lacking, they prefer shallow marshes or temporarily flooded agricultural lands. They usually eat vegetative matter consisting of seeds, stems, and leaves of aquatic and emergent vegetation. Green-winged Teal appear to prefer the small seeds of nutgrasses, millets, and sedges to larger seeds, but they also consume corn, wheat, barley, and buttonbush seeds. In marshes, sloughs, and ponds, Green-winged Teal select the seeds of bulrushes, pondweeds, and spikerushes. To a lesser extent they feed upon the vegetative parts of muskgrass, pondweeds, widgeongrass, and duckweeds. They will occasionally eat insects, mollusks, and crustaceans. Occasionally during spring months, Green-winged Teal will gorge on maggots of decaying fish which are found around ponds.
