About These Birds

Andaman Teal

A small dark brown teal with a white throat and chin patch, green speculum, and dark bill. Endemic to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal. Vulnerable; threatened by habitat loss and hunting. One of the least-known ducks in Asia.

American Black Duck

El pato negro americano es un gran pato de color marrón muy oscuro con una cabeza más clara y un llamativo espéculo alar púrpura. Habita en humedales del este de Norteamérica y se está hibridando cada vez más con el pato de collar introducido en su rango, lo que representa una amenaza para su pureza genética. Prefiere marismas costeras, pantanos boscosos y lagos tranquilos.
