BW Teal seen no picts though, 1 hen and 1 drake. Drake had white facial
Crescent showing. Halfway between eclipse and basic plumage both birds
flapped wings a couple of times and the blue/gray wing patches cemented ID.
Only one Snow Goose is confirmed White Morph. Other two reported are Hybrids
of some sort probably not even snows.
