Blue-Winged Teals on Lake Nelson

 

 

 

We first saw blue-winged teals while on vacation in Palm Island in the St Vincent & The Grenadines. Now we realize there is no reason to go to the Caribbean at all, since a group of 5-6 teals stopped at Lake Nelson during their migration.

Special Caribbean Issue

While Lake Nelson has it charms, sometimes people and birds require warmer climates and turquoise waters. We spent a week in St. Vincent and the Grenadines on two islands (Petit St. Vincent and Palm Island). Here are some the birds we encountered.

Bananaquit

Tropical Mockingbird

Frigate

Another Bananaquit

This duck was in a lagoon in the middle of Palm Island, SVG. It took some time searching on the internet, but we eventually identified it as a blue-winged teal on vacation in Palm Island, SVG. We prefered the caribbean waters, but they liked the lagoon.
