[EBB Sightings] Coyote Hill's RP - raptors and more

This afternoon at Coyote Hills RP before parking the car I had White-tailed
Kite, Northern Harrier, Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, Red-shouldered
Hawk, Prairie Falcon and Golden Eagle. In the pond north of the parking area
the only open fresh water was jammed with Northern Pintail, Wigeon and a few
Green-winged Teal. I scanned the throng for 30 minutes and found 1 hybrid
Eurasian X American Wigeon, showing the rufous head and a partial green nike
splash. I continued to scan and noticed 1 Common Teal showing the jagged
white scapulars and no vertical white stripe. This teal was a first for me
so it's possibly a hybrid Common X Green-winged.
